Yesterday was what would have been my 10 yr anniversary. It was a long day. I actually volunteered to work on Sunday so my mind would be elsewhere. Yes I know, LAME! Working on Sundays isn't my idea of fun seeing as I already 7 days a week anyway. One thing however shadowed this day I wanted to forget. I am 3 pounds away from my goal. It has taken me a lifetime to reach this goal. I look in the mirror and I feel good. I smile. But I wish this moment could of been shared with the person I spent the last 10 yrs of my life with. We are now not even friends. She asked me to cancel her cell phone services and take her off my insurance. She is now forever gone and it hurts. I wish I didn't have to share my success story with this but it is what it is. I must now move on. I must now focus on the future. I hope to find peace of mind. Success with this surgery has given me hope. Maybe hope will lead me to my soul mate one day. I wish everyone success in their journey. It's now easy and life will throw you some major hurdles but the end result will bring you joy like no other. I am not a huge picture taker because I still have this small insecurity about pictures but I took a picture of myself last night and I did really for the first time in my entire life, feel sexy lol!! I know that may sound corny, feeling sexy and all, but when you've never had that feeling and then it hits you like a ton of bricks you take it. I don't care what other people think, I am loving myself for the first time and complimenting myself makes me feel good :) Ciao and a great evening to you all .. I'm ALMOST THERE!!! and YOU WILL TOO!!

You look great! :)

I'm sorry you have to Celebrate your amazing success at the same time as what would've been a huge life milestone. But as they say...onward & upward! My relationship has been shaky since being sleeved, so I can relate. Hang in there! Life is calling!!!

Looking real good my friend! :)

And the right girl is out there! I promise at some point in the future you will want to thank your ex for letting you go so you can find the RIGHT one.

I know I've felt like thanking my ex numerous times for dumping me so I was free to find the love of my life :)

I wish you all the luck in the world!! Do you go to any support groups? Maybe some single

Ladies in the crowd there that would like someone that knows what they have been through?? Just a thought! I hope you start feeling better soon. Your girl was probably jealous of all the attention you were getting and feeling insecure about herself??

      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
