It would be so fun!!!! I would love at 1 year for us to be able to combine all the weight total we dropped as a group! Can u imagine how incredible that would be?!? I'm pretty sure it would be an amazing experience for all of us to see!!!

So I saw everyone else posting pictures and thought I would too:) I unfortunately don't think I have much in the way of before pics as I hardly ever took pictures before and the ones I do have I was always making a super silly face to cover up how insecure I felt:( but anyhow I love my surgery and feel the best I have in years:) I've even been able to come off of my anti depression meds I've been on for six years and anti anxiety meds and super string sleeping pills. I never. Thought I'd be off of these so that makes me proud! I've been working out hard to get as far down as possible before I gain back the 15 percent the dr says most patients gain back but I don't want to be super skinny just fit and strong I really want to utilize my tool to the best of my ability. Sorry about the rant but I've just been feeling so great lol that being said I started at over230 now am 156. I'd like to eventually remain at somewhere between 125 and 130 ish but up to 145 is healthy for me so that'd be okay if I was fit too:) I am still insecure about my arms and feel my face is somewhat chunky. I know some if you have issues seeing yourself the way you are and I know that I do! This is me in south padre about a week ago :) ( please excuse the booty shorts lol it seemed modest at the time as everyone was wearing bikinis:)

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
