The Flab Battle in Seattle



Recommended Posts

I was thinking how success happens more rapidly in a team environment. Lets get this group rolling and maybe in a month or so we can start planning quarterly group meet and greets and some fab Soup joint! Who's with me?

Hi, All -

Sounds like a plan. I am still pre-sleeve, but will likely have my surgery in late spring or early summer.

This would be fun but to far away. Western Washington but not in Seattle.

There are at least 3 of us Westsound/Olympic Peninsula. Perhaps if everyone gets organized to plan periodic events, members east of the sound might be willing to hop a ferry at some point. Also, I sometimes ride the Olympic Discovery Trail from Blynn to Port Angeles. Could be an opportunity to meet up at a coffee shop or something. (Although admittedly, I'm expecting to get scheduled for surgery in the next 30 days or so, so I don't imagine I'll be doing a lot of riding for a few months...)

Anyway, just some ideas.

      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.
