Oh my gosh, what a transformation! Love the picture showing off your hourglass figure....you look so much younger.....you gotta love that! (well, at my age I'd love it LOL)

We all lose at different rates, but would you share what your meals for a typical day would consist of and what you are doing for exercise? Thanks! This is so exciting to see as a pre-op, thank you fors haring!

Thank you. My meal plan is pretty simple. I have a shake or a Protein bar for Breakfast, I have a few bites of meat and veggies for lunch, Snacks consist of almonds, cheese, or fruit. dinner is whatever my family is eating. I avoid all bread (except a rare slice of pizza), I avoid all rice (except a rare treat of sushi) and I avoid potatoes. If I'm craving a candy bar I will take 2 bites of a snickers and give the rest away so I'm not tempted. I live in the South, in Mississippi and just north of New Orleans, good soul food and seafood is everywhere and I love a good tasting meal so I don't deny myself these luxuries. I just pay attention to my sleeve and stop eating at the first feeling of fullness. I work out 2-3 times a week. I started out doing Curves and then switched to an intense core workout that consist of lunges, squats, push-ups, and sit-ups. I use the Skinny wraps to tighten my skin (yes they are working for me). That's it. I live my life as usual. I eat what I want with the exception of carbs and I never slow down. Good luck to all of you on your journey.

      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.
