Hello fellow pre and post sleevers!! I fall into the pre category and I'm wondering... What does YOUR positive self-talk sound like? You know, those words you say to yourself to keep on track and going strong. Those things you think or say out loud to defeat the doubt and urges to cheat or give up...

Today is another day to show my strength

I love me...especially a healthy me

Ya know, sappy stuff like that... ;)

Thanks everyone! ♡ Cher

I tell myself this is my time. It's about me and it's ok for me to be selfish and think about myself for once. I'm worth it and this is an investment in myself.

Honestly, I don't need much self talk. All the extra attention keeps me motivated. Not to mention how great I feel now. You couldn't pay me to turn back.

I am worth it.

What kind of example do I want to set for the children I love?

I deserve to be healthy and happy.

Will I feel better after eating this?

Will I feel better after exercising even though I don't want to right now?

I agree with OTR, after a year at goal, I do find it easier to resist the treats. It feels great being skinny and healthy. I love looking in the mirror.

I'm taking a vacation from self-talk since overcoming the greater part of my fat problem. I battled myself constantly for so many years that having my eating in control now is such a relief. Now I am free to think about something other than loving and hating food. I guess I do tell myself, "That was a good move!"

      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.
