I'm still far away from where I need to be...I can't wait till I can ride a ride at the amusement park.I can't wait till I can go on the Water rides and not be afraid of getting stuck half way down.I can't wait till I can ride my bike around the neighborhood.I can't wait till I can shop anywhere I want in the mall.

My pack rat ways with clothes are paying off ;-) I'm wearing the shirt I had on the night my husband and I got engaged 5 years ago! Whenever I see pictures from that night I've always thought it was the last time I looked skinny in photos. The best part... its actually a little big now

You'll be there before you know it :-D that was one big thing I wanted to and got to do recently... Ride amusement park rides. The last time I rode one was 9 years ago at 18.... And I embarrassed had to get off a ride cus I didn't fit :-( for years as I bigger I lied and said I didn't like rides cus I was to embarrassed to say I knew I didn't fit. But in February I got on allll the rides. I even want to get a season pass to fiesta Texas :-D

I am excited to take a bath and to own a pair of real leather boots that go to my knee or higher. I have my fathers shins on top of being over weight so I never have owned anything other than ugg style boots and rain boots which were still a pain.

I can't wait to pull that drivers seat up a bit and my tummy not come close to the steering wheel. I finally bought my pretty little Mustang. Now I can't wait to fit into it like I should! :)

      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. 🤞
