Wow, fantastic. Simply amazing. You have managed to transition into a beach body without surgery for excess skin. Wish all of us could do that.

I've been using cocoa butter and Jergens skin tightening lotion. If it wasn't so dark you'd be able to see my stretch marks. I still have a little bit to go. Thank you :)

I started off at 271 and I'm now 170. I had around 600-800 calories daily the first 5 months and the last month I've increased it to 1100 or so because my body was holding onto the weight. Don't get me wrong I eat healthy, but I do have what I want in moderation and believe it or not on weeks where I stall, I'll grab a Big Mac or a small fry from somewhere and it kickstarts my metabolism to get going again and I drop a few pounds the next day. I make sure to include at least one Protein shake a day no matter what time it is. I haven't exercised yet because of a back injury but I hope to soon.

Oh and I'm 5'5. Don't be fooled I DO have some loose skin in the front under my belly button. The little bump you see is actually really old fat I gained in high school that's loose and yucky that I'm hoping goes soon lol.

      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.

      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.
