You look fantastic. I think you need to take a long hard look at your before pics and think of who that person was. Remember how you felt and then just get out and take control. You can do it!

Wow. I had to go back and look at your "before" pic again because you don't even look like the same person. You need to do the same.

You look absolutely fantastic. Here is the reality of it all. This is when the rubber meets the road and we have to realize this is one of those times when we have to make ourselves do what we know is right. It's tough to do I know this very well but after we had our surgery we all swore to ourselves we were never going back. This is one of those times when we get weak (and we all do) and have to conform to what is right. It's the difference between caving in and reverting back to a lifestyle that will kill us mentally and gain weight or grow stronger and conquer the old ways and demons. I think that you have done an absolutely amazing job with losing 110 pounds and I totally believe you can conquer this momentary weakness. If you have been slipping into some old patterns you might want to go back to liquids for a week and a lean piece of meat and veggies every couple of nights. This will help to get the carb monster off your back and kick start some weight loss. One day I will probably be sitting where you are right now and want you to remind me of the advice I gave you. It is all part of this journey and to expect that this wouldn't or couldn't happen is naive to ones growth. Getting past these hurtles is what strenthens us. Good luck and I know you can do it! :) :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that how to do it is not the problem. It's why to do it. When you're fat, the reason is obvious. With a 100+ weight loss, the reason is less obvious. One thing you might try is this: Find a site on the web where you can enter information about yourself and then find out how long you have left to live. Do this 1st for your current situation, then do it again for where you want to be. Just a guess, but chances are you'll probably add 5-10 years to your life. That may turn the tide for you.

      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.
