Wouldn't believe it if i wasn't living it!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Jan 17th and I've lost 55lbs!!! The transformation of the reflection in the mirror is almost unbelievable as I can't believe I made this decision, actually followed thru with it and have been living a COMPLETELY different life since. I never thought I would be able to stick to the diet changes, etc prior to the surgery however after the surgery its like my brain was also rewired with the removal of the stomach portion and I have a completely different thought process about food and I don't feel deprived or like I am missing out on anything because of the minor limitations. Does anyone else feel like this?? I have inspired 2 people at my job to go in for a consult with their dr since seeing the success I am having and I can't believe people are coming to ME (the large girl) for health advice and being told how great my body looks.

Wow would not believe this could happen if I wasn't actually living it. Best decision I have ever made for ME!! Go Sleeve, keep working your magic on me. Smile...

That's so awesome!!!!!! It's true about the whole mind rewiring. The lifestyle changes are crucial and after a while it becomes habit. My other favorite part is that my family has joined in with the clean/healthy eating and being more active outside!! We've allotted Fast-food Friday though and the funny thing is my boys will order things like grilled chicken wraps, no ranch or fries!!! I'll get a salad and part it in 3 ;) It's so worth it!

I feel the same way - if it wasn't happening to me I don't know if I would believe it! Congratulations on your success so far!

      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.
