I was just wondering if there are any emotional NSVs that anyone is looking forward to.

I am looking forward to not feeling ashamed when I run into someone I haven't seen in a long time or meeting new people. I'm also looking forward to feeling comfortable just sitting on a bench.

Anyone else have an emotional NSV they've experienced or hope to experience?

In September one of my good friends is getting married. And he invited my ex. Who I haven't seen since we broke up right after my similar.

I want to be able to hold my head high in a cute dress when I see him again.

I know I'm special, But he didn't.

I just want to show him how far I've come, and how I was able to better my life without him.

One of my best friends is getting married next May and I'm looking forward to not being the "fat girl" at the wedding. I'm looking forward to hopefully feeling comfortable in my own skin rather than ashamed of my body and what I allowed myself to get to.

I want, in the long scale of things, to go to my 10 year high school reunion in a couple of years, and feel confident. I want to show people that I am more than just my weight.

But more immediately, I would love to be able to go to a theatre or concert and not have to worry if I will be able to fit in the seat, or if I'm gonna walk out with swollen thighs from sitting someplace too small for me. It may seem like a little thing, but I just want to feel normal

As someone who has gone thru this butterfly transformation. From 340 to maintaining 155 lbs... my confidence is thru the roof. My body was going thru all these changes and it has taken a long time for my mind to catch up. Good luck to you all... I think you are all beautiful just the way you are but just wait... It is going to get sooooo much better!!!

I don't mean to sound dense - but what is an LBD?

        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!

      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
