When was your surgery? Mine was Dec 18.

Mine was dec. 20. Showers are fine, but I'm ready for a nice long soak. Hope you are healing nicely.

As fun as this topic is, I was kind of scared of it at first, but seeing as surgery is tomorrow... here I go!

I can't wait to...

Stop pretending I'm afraid or don't like things bc I don't feel comfortable or won't fit (roller coasters/ dancing/ planes)

Not be so winded when walking/ climbing/ hiking

Set a good, healthy example for my students

Find a man who loves me and not a boy who is okay being with me as long as no one really knows

Have a baby (one day ;)

Not be embarrassed and feel like everyone is thinking "what is she doing here?" at "regular" clothing stores

Be as beautiful as my sis :)

Not sweat so much (hopefully- maybe it's just the genes lol)

Buy CHEAP, CUTE clothes

Be PROUD of my eating habits

LIKE to exercise

Travel, take a celebratory trip

Not have food as my hobby (what will be my hobby? lol)

Feel more comfortable in heels (is that possible?)

Cross my legs without holding my foot to pin them together *ugh*

Not worry about sliding into a booth, sitting in stadium chairs, etc.

Not knocking people out of the way when trying to squeeze through some where

Have better control and agility of my body

Feel better

Be normal

NEVER BE IN THIS STATE AGAIN!!!!

Good luck to us all :)

I am tearing up reading all these. Gosh it's so amazing to have so many "family" members going through this-

My list-

I can't wait to see my bones again- and feel them (my hips are there I know it!!!)

Feel pretty again

Walk proud and not schlumped over

Fit comfortably in a plane seat (if that's possible)

Go skydiving/parasailing

Let my husband see the fun healthy girl I am inside

Run/play/wrestle my boys for a long while and not short spurts.

Zumba w/out pain

Eat and not feel guilty or wonder where it's going to show up-

Worm- I have family in Pittsburgh and am from northern wv- love kennywood!

I. Will. Not. Fail.

aayres and worm...i live in Murrysvile, about 20 min away from Pgh. That's cool to connect with people in the area!

Things I look forward to:

Buying a Victoria Secret bra ( ha! whoever said that earlier..so true!)

Wearing boots that fit over my calf

Having the energy and wanting to play outside with my kids

Not shopping for plus size clothes

Not having my heart race after going up the steps

Being able to go to the amusement park and not be afraid the seatbelt won't reach

To be around my husbands friends/wives without feeling insecure about how i look or what their thinking of me

Be able to enjoy working out again at the gym..i love lifting weights..maybe even get tone again!!!

Be able to wear button fly jeans that make my ass look great-ha!

Not have my belly rub on my steering wheel.

Not living in fear of sitting in a lawn chair.

Not tying my shoelace on the side of my shoes and in the center like "normal" people.

To bras that come in more colors then white, black, and beige.

YES! That is what I'm looking forward to the most, cute and pretty lingerie!

My most embarrassing moment was breaking a lawn chair with my weight in front of a man that I've wanted to date for a few years now. I've never seen him again....

I also want to walk in a room where my body parts don't knock things onto the floor, lol.

        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.

      3. buildabetteranna

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
