Havent Been Here In A While........



Recommended Posts

So, I have been a little distant! why you ask? At first it was just stuff and busy-ness. I am happy to say I have my nurse assesment on monday followed by my nutrition class. I pick up my Optifast that day and start on tues. After that is one more dr's appointment and then surgery on the 26th.

I was all excited to have a pre-holiday feast this weekend, since Iwill be on Optifast through the holidays.My dad and brother may or may not be coming and I wont know until later today. The thing that stinks is that Tuesday I went to get the mail and fell and fractured my big toe in three places and my other toes were injured in the process. So now I cant do much of anything :(And its my birthday and my house is a wreck and I havent been doing much for dinners, thank goodness that my kids are happy with the easy stuff! But I just want a good dinner before I get to watch everyone else enjoy theirs! I am not questioning my decision I just know it will be hard to watch everyone eating on christmas.

Lastly, I am so stinking excited for the surgery to happen and be over with!!!!! I am ready! I am going to start a bag soon so that I can throw things in there when I think about it!!!

there is my update!! Now to start reading all the posts I have missed.

holy moly girlfriend - you are a quarter of a century "young" today - OMG

IMO you don't look a day over 24 :lol:

getting so exciting as time gets closer and closer to WLS - gotta hang in there another 3 weeks :(

it might be a "little" rough over the holidays, stupid fractured toe :angry: , family food all that stuff - but remember why you are doing this, you will be so happy :)

you will find yourself in a better place - healthier, happier - which will make "kid time" even better

take care bud

see you before surgery, so to speak!!!

      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.
