Beachbum, Chanvita, cindy, thanks for all of your encouragement!

When I first saw the new pic (in the red dress), I could definitely tell something was different! Sometimes it is harder to see it tho. Isn't that funny?

I'm 5'2" and have lost 57# since my initial consult, 37# since surgery 8 weeks ago. I'm trying real hard to maximize my golden 6 months and at 2 or 3 weeks out I joined a gym. Have been doing Zumba 3x/week. I have now been incorporating weights into my workout. Having energy to move is such an amazing feeling!!

So far, I've gone from a 2x top to Large. Size 20 pant and dress to size 14. SA-WEET!!

It's terrible tho. I've become addicted to losing weight! I want more off now!!! lol!! Don't worry, I'm not doing anything crazy!

I did, however, have to miss my 6 week appt, so if anyone has any tips, please share!

Everyone - keep getting healthy!

I did where some have a little tougher time when they have the gall bladder out at the same time. But they felt better in a couple days. Hang I'm there and do what you can to feel better. I know it's rough and try to walk.

Oh Chanvita - I'm so sorry! Hang in there kiddo! Did you ask them if they could change your pain medication to see if that's what is making you ill? Sometimes you are having a type of allergic reaction to some of your meds and that's what !makes you throw up. Praying for you!

Chanvita! So glad you are home - it's all uphill from here. I didn't have what I would call pains in my legs but I had like spasms that I figured were caused by those ding dang automated squeezers they had on my l was in the hospital. Had the worst case of restless leg syndrome for about 3 days but then it stopped. Went for my post op appt and got my staples removed today. Girl - I've lost 18 lbs since surgery! We are on our way!

      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. 🤞
