I want to say thankyou to everyone. Before I had surgery you were there for me. After surgery you were there for me. Some even took the time to send me a pravite message to ask if I was feeling ok. During my weight lost you were there. When I wasn't eating you were right there by my side. I feel so love this is group. I never felt so much companion love & caring.

Now I'm 43 pounds towards my weight goal,and I feel I'm getting there sooner then expected. I walk around thinking i'm the best looking thing since chocolate was invented. I feel so sexy. Men are checking me out. My hubby is checking me out LMFAO...

If you need my love-help-support. I'M RIGHT HERE JUST FOR YOU... WE CAN GET THREW GOOD TIMES HARD TIMES & ANY TYPE OF ISSUES THAT COME ALONG... Together we stand!

Sending my love to all Maybelin {mamiof3kids}

That is quite normal believe it or not between swelling and Water retention the scale may show a gain. Please don't be discouraged! My best advice is to step away from the scale for a week or two. We trend to agonize over the numbers on the scale but they are just that, numbers! Try to focus on the positive changes you have been making in your life and know you can and will accomplish your goals! The healthier you is just around the corner... Hang on and enjoy the journey!

Absolutely nothing to worry about. I so agree with Mary - focus on following the protocol and staying away from the scales for a couple of weeks! You'll be glad you did and the result will definitely put a smile on your face!

      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.
