Weighed in at 253.2 today! That is 50lbs down from 4-22 surgery and 87 total! Even though I thought id be further in my weightloss, 50 lbs in 3 months is ok. My original goal for myself was 80 in 6 months which I can hit, and beat! Happy today! Now off shopping for supplies for grad party♥

Missed all of y'all today..I'm such a junkie here :) I've had a rather busy day and 2 more just like it left to go. I missed checking in on everyone.

In FL we have "tax free weekend" where it's basically a savings for back to school buying. Thought I'd be in the clear waiting to go after work tonight as Fri was nearly over and the weekend is usually the worst..oh no..craziness! Thank God I just have one kiddo and my step kids do theirs with their mom. If anyone ever watched the movie Fried Green Tomatoes and remember her ramming the car yelling Tawanda..that's about what I felt like doing with my buggy :)

hoping since clothes are included as a savings I might can pick up a few things for me to wear this weekend.

We're having tax free in NC as well. As a teacher, I take advantage to get some supplies for my classroom. I also try to get my parents to buy things for the classroom as well. This will be the first time I actually buy some clothes for me! I can't wear anything that I've worn the past 10+ years. Yayyyyyy!

Didnt know they did that! This is the first year in forever that I dont have to buy school supplies! Seems unreal. We were at Walmart today and my 18 yr old says, " better get supplies soon. Oh wait..." was too funny. Guess she forgot she graduated!

        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!

    • 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
