my eyes are way bigger than my stomach (still)......

Guilt is not what I should feel if I eat a cupcake. ...

123lbs lost is actually great......

If I dont lose any weight 1 week its OK...

Feeling mad sometimes because I still cant eat salads or slaw is OK....

Being able to buy clothes anywhere is nice....

I can walk past Lane Bryant and I do NOT have to shop there!!!!!

The scale is NOT making me its b*tch I made it my b*tch!!!! :)

I enjoy compliments. ....

Being cold ALL of the time sucks!

Whenever I see french fries I smell grease which is a good thing right?

I still want to lose more weight but if I don't its starting to be OK....

Weight day of surgery: 350

Weight today: 224

Surgery date: 6/29/12

      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.
