I had surgery 1 week ago and I have to give my hubby some points! He's been making sure not to eat things in front of me if he even thinks I'd want it! :) he even tries my last couple bites of whatever watery Soup I make for the day (or couple days) :) he's being a trooper for sure! My goal is to be 'smaller' than him. Even when we first met I was 180 he was 175...we're both 5'10. For the last 7 years I've been around 240-254 and he's stayed 185-200. My goal...my first BIG goal is to hit 199.9 by Sept 3rd. My daughters first day of school! :) I'm sitting at 223 today.

You can do this! My husband and I have been married for 32 years and thanks to the sleeve I am now smaller than him for the first time, I was sleeved 1 year ago and I have lost 125 lbs, it's the greatest feeling in the world when he hugs me now and his arms wrap all the way around me and then some. Good luck on your journey!

It will happen for you, I am certain!!! It is wonderful to feel "small" next to your husband. It was a goal for me as well. :)

      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.
