Hi y'all, My name is Tasha Coco, I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I'm a BBW (of course) Lesbian Mom. I was banded by Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey Mexico on May 25. My top weight was 427 lbs, my current weight is 355 lbs. This has been a much harder journey than I thought it would be. I struggle daily with my food choices.

Hi Tasha,

Congratulations on your weight loss. It sounds like you are doing GREAT!!! I think a number of us here struggle with our food choices, so you are definitely in good company.

P.S. -- I think that is one of the cutest dogs I have ever seen :)

Good luck,

Tasha, welcome!!!

Your puppy is SO adoreable, and you are doing GREAT!!!

So glad you found us!!

Join in all the fun the wonderful people here create. :)

Struggling with food choices - a common theme. I believe it usually has to do with diet mentality. Once you throw away dieting FOREVER, it is easier to make healthier choices more often, because you know nothing is off limits if you're DYING to have it.

It is truly astounding how much a little thing like changing a mindset can help us on our journeys.

Best of luck!

Hi Tasha, welcome!!

I took the liberty of resizing your photo to avatar size. Right-click on the picture below, and save it to your desktop. Then go to the User CP button here at the top, click on Edit Options, and at the bottom of the page you'll see Avatar. Click on Change Avatar and upload the file that you saved to your desktop. That should make this little photo into your avatar, the pic under your name.

Nice to meet you and your furbaby!! :)

        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.

      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
