My parents were big into the love beyond your means craze of the 80's and 90's. I watched things fall apart financially for them and swore I wouldn't let that happen to me. I got a job when I turned 14- worked almost full time and had enough cash to get a 'typical' first car. My grandpa (a product of the greatest generation and the depression) was so proud of me for saving my money he put the rest of the money down to buy me a new version of the car I was looking at. I 'paid myself' a car payment every month and at 22 bought another car- cash. I'm still driving that car and I will admit it's not the coolest or most functional car at this point as far as room goes- I'm driving it until it dies :). My ex was another live above your means type and ultimately it was one of the main issues that started the road to divorce with us. Now- fiancé and I are in a position where we need more space house wise- we have 3 kids and a German shepherd living in an awkwardly laid out 1500 sq foot house. So- we are looking at an upgrade and because we see eye to eye financially- we are able to put down a pretty substantial down payment and will actually be saving quite a bit of money every month all while living in a much larger home. And we can start planning out next kiddo.

Sorry- my rant is over. So no- I'm not some crazy person that doesn't drive or lives in my car. I just didn't want to let myself go crazy and wind up in the same position as my parents. I figure the generation before my parents knew a thing or two back then :)

I was debt free until my sleeve. We had the cash to pay for it out of pocket but we also didn't want to be screwed if our taxes were higher than our estimate so we took out a no interest loan for half the cost. Debt free was the best feeling in the world until the weight started dropping. Totally worth it!

That's so great! My fiancé says he can't wait to pick me up. He's strong as an ox and could do it now- but I refuse to let him try. I'm hoping by this summer to be at a point I would let him try :)

I'm 50 and ...

- never lived a day without God's love surrounding me (even when I didn't recognize it)

- never gave up hope that my life has purpose and meaning (even on the roughest days - and there were many)

- never stopped praying for my husband (whom I've yet to meet - well, unless I know him and don't know it yet!)

- never lived without an amazing animal in my life (right now it's Howard the cat and Riley the corgi)

- never enjoyed my body, flexibility, energy, health more than I am now

(ok, ok - I've never been waxed either)

My heart goes out to you! Please know that when you feel the beauty of your outerself emerge, your inner beauty that was always there - comes through even stronger....this in and of itself will give you the strength to say no when you know you should because you deserve so much more! You will have your dreams come true. God is good and He loves you - we do too!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
