Went shopping today with kevinsbabygirl. She convinced me to enter an outlet store that I'd never see myself walking into. OLD NAVY!!!!

She convinced me to try on a 42 jeans. Now may I remind you I was a 64+ jean when I started. Moral of the story, find that special someone to challenge you and push you to the next level!!!

Looking hot btw! I must say that yes it is so amazing to put on a size you swear will be too small to only find out it actually fits or almost fits, either way it is exciting. Been experiiencing this last weekend and dang it felt good. At work people pass me and say "wow you are melting away" and my clothes look like they belong to a clown. I keep getting told to go shopping LOL. too funny and fun to hear these kind of comments, and everyone has been so positive and encouraging at work and home, I am blessed for sure. Kevin you are right it sure helps to have those people who are positive and encourage you to make the positive strides. I have a couple of women at work who do that and one who decided she would be my RNY buddy and do all the things I do even though she has not had surgery (haha riiiiight) and execise with me, use same Vitamins, use same Shampoo etc she still eats anything she wants and has yet to exercise with me, but hey she offered LOL. She did buy the vitamins and shampoo haha. It was sweet though.

My sweetie of 25 years though is my biggest supporter and Nick is always there to encourage me and tell me to stay strong and not get defeated. He works out with me, he makes my Protein Shakes for me etc... Again let me say it again I AM BLESSED!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
