This is reason number 2,593,323 that I love the sleeve! It creates EYE candy for us girls!! :)

BTW, do you miss the Dr Pepper like that big guy thought you'd miss it? :)

Well, meant to correct that. My brand was Cherry Coke. I liked Dr. Pepper, but I was a Cherry Coke guy. Do I miss it.....yes and no. I have found a new addiction, Diet Peach Snapple. If I didn't have something that took its place, plain Water wasn't cutting it, then I'm sure I would miss it more than I do. My Nut said Diet Peach Snapple, or regular home brewed Iced Tea with sweetner instead of sugar were great subs....and since I love Iced tea, worked for me. I have had a few sips here and there of soda, but even that hasn't been enough to make me want to go back to drinking it as much as I did. I have every confidence that my soda addiction attributed at least 70% to me being overweight. I loved the taste and the burn of the carbination, but being smaller now....I love that more than any soda!! :)

I drink LOTS of Decaf unsweet tea myself. I use way too much splenda, equal, stevia, etc, but I get my liquids in and that's what counts. :)

Congrats on your weight loss!! You're looking fantastic...and I'm sorry to insult your beloved Cherry Cola by thinking it was Dr Pepper. :)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
