Recommended Posts

As you can see I was no small man.. And the diff is crazy to me when I look at the photos.. I didn't see myself as big as I was , I have a beautiful wife , wonderful kids.. I was essentially fat and happy.. But I was tired.. My legs hurt, feet hurt, I'd go through boots in 6-8 months.. Now all that is gone.. Thank god!!!!

Quit dressing like a fat guy. You aren't one anymore my dear :). You lost twenty years as well as the pounds.

By the way....is your daughter betrothed yet? She's a super cuttiepie! How's she feel about adorable red heads? We could throw in a trust fund if we have to...and definitely a dog!

Ok google helped me , my biggest non scale victory is the activities I'm now able to partake in with my children , without dying.. We ride bikes , play soccer .. I'm not tired any more , I barely wanna goto sleep at night.. So the energy I have now in surplus for everyday life made it more than worth it!

I know what you mean about the energy and not wanting to waste time sleeping. I'm killing my husband who is a heavy equipment operator. He gets home and wants to collapse. I want to hike and bike and go here and go there ...

On the weekends it's just worse. I want to zip line, kayak, hike up mountains for miles and otherwise stay active all the time. He loves it all once I pry him out the door.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
