its the day before surgery and one picture each month after.... what you think... I think im doing pretty good... running 3 miles 4x a week... and staying active... eating small portions... sometimes not the best meals but for the most part i am... Feeling energetic, grateful and overall just happy... Down from 5 pills to 1 pill. No more anxiety, no more diabetes, no more cholesterol and 1 high blood pressure pill down... 1 to go....

Life on the loosers bench isnt always easy... But its worth it 100%... some days i feel fat as i ever been and want to give up... but i know i cant this time... This time i will prove to myself that I can get to my goal... 268 now------ goal 199.... by 1 yr surgiversary... I got this...

Awesome. You can see a signifigant difference.

If you were to take your physical feelings and symptoms, ailments - how you felt at the time you took each of those photos - how would that progress? On meds in one pic/off now? Couldn't do something in the first pick that you can now? stuff like that....

Here is a quote that has gotten me through many tough situations by encouraging to just get started with something and keep going......."Whatever you can do, or dream you can do - begin it! For boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." Wolfgang Von Goethe"

      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.
