Thank you all for your kind words! I originally posted these pictures in December. Now here we are in April... wow where did the time go?!. I am now 6 months out and feel great. I am down 88 pounds with 3 pounds to lose for my goal. I went from a size 20-22 to a size 4-6. I exercise and try really hard to stick to my diet. (I have always loved loved loved bread.. so there are some days I will eat some!) We have to remember that we still need to live and have a wonderful life! I am (still) addicted to the scale and weigh in daily. I don't expect to see a loss like before...but I don't want to see a gain either! When I do see a gain, I know I need more Water and more Protein and exercise. Keeps me on track!! Good luck to the ones I see with surgery dates! My only regret is not doing it sooner! I have had a wonderful time.. if you have any questions please feel free to ask... Or you can private message me! ;)

      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.
