I'll start...

I'm thankful for my Sleeve & the weight loss (an obvious), family & friends, health & happiness.

I will not obsess that day & plan on eating at least a spoonful of all my favorites.

Thankful to be alive :) It's been a tough year medically. Thankful to have my family around me for the holidays.

I'll enjoy dinner and wine and pumpkin pie. Just over a longer period of time and smaller amounts. :)

Oh and thankful I lost 7 lbs last night (I must have been aggressively exercising in my sleep LOL) so I can actually meet my thanksgiving goal!

I am thankful for the most amazing family. I love them all from my children to Grandma! Everyone should have a family like mine.

I really want to eat turkey, sweet potatoes and green bean casserole. Don't think all of that will fit.

I am thankful for all of my family. I love them so much. I am thankful that I had this surgery done on Oct. 2, I also am so very thankful that my daughter was approved to get sleeved due to medical reasons. Now we can be happy and healthy together.

I am so grateful for my life, my health, and the ability just to say THANK YOU to the Lord for this year is finally turning around. I've lost 59lbs so far and I don't feel tired anymore, my energy is coming back! :D I am going to my mom's house for Thanksgiving my mom asked what I could eat and she is making the menu based on my stage of food she has been so supportive in this. I don't know if she is making stuffing this time if so, I'm having a tiny spoon of it, but I'll make sure to eat my turkey first :rolleyes:

      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. 🤞
