For example, I want to:

Run a marathon

Walk on the beach shirtless and feel good about it ( Hawaii trip next may)

Climb mount Rainer ( a local peak here in Washington)

Hike the PCT from California to Canada ( already have done shorter stints in Washington earlier in life)

My future aspiration was actually a bit large scale, meaning finding a new company to work for. Knowing the weight prejudice, I was feeling self concious about interviewing. However with recent pay cuts, etc. it looks like I'm going to have to start seaching now, and I'm only a month out and not too much noticable weight loss as yet.

But I'd like to get into Water sports (kayaking, jet skiing, etc.) and return to dancing. :)

I would like to be able to tuck a shirt into pants or a skirt and not see rolls! Be in a crowd and not feel self conscious. Eat in public and not feel like people are staring at me. And to be able to wear a sleeveless shirt!

I really just want to be a healthy Mom and set a good example for my two kids. I am happy to have this done befoer they start school so they won't have "the fat mom" out of their classmates. I look forward to having the energy to participate in all of their activities.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
