My daughter has two kayaks in our shed. Maybe I should take up kayaking...

I have always wanted to try kayaking. I live in Florida 1.5 miles from the ocean. Maybe this is my year. I told my niece she can teach me to surf this year. Now that will be a sight but I want her to know I will try anything once (well within reason).

Do it! Kayaking is high on my goals list along with bike riding. I live in Washington state so it has to wait until summer, but I will totally be small enough for it by then.

Yes, I'm waiting for summer, too! It seems so far away...

I went to a party on Saturday. Well, we all ended up getting in the hot tub. So, all my clothes were wet. One of the people that lived there handed me some dry clothes. I asked what size they were and his response to me was "you realize you're the smallest one here, does it really matter what size they are?" Lol made me stop and realize I'm not the 300+ lb girl anymore.

We have a shower tub in our main bathroom. It's quite short. My tummy has never fit under the Water. Until today. Best day ever so far!

Isn't that an AMAZING feeling! I've been buying 8's and I was formerly a pretty tight 22, too. I keep thinking this can't be real, I can't possibly be an 8! That maybe the clothes are running big but I never had clothes run big when I was a 22...

I'm down 5 sizes in 7 months. When I'm shopping for my new size, I look at it and think there is no way it's going to fit. Then I try it on and do the happy dance!

I do the same thing! I manage to get them up and I'm like what?! No way lol

And dance like a raccoon on crack for about 5 minutes and then look around to see if anyone is looking at me like I'm crazy lol

I'm down to a 18 from a 28 and fit in a 16 but not comfortably yet to go in public with them yet lol

It is up there with best feelings in the world. Love that I went through with the surgery! :D

      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
