I came into this world at 8lbs 5oz and have been obese ever since. I have no idea what "small " feels like. I don't remember what it was like to sit with my legs crossed. But I'm determined to find out!

8.5 is small. My son was 10.8! :-) I'm sure you'll reach a size you'll be pleased with. I want to do something REALLY special when I reach my goal. I have never been high maintenance. We never had a real honeymoon, special anniversary trip, real vacation, or cruise. When I reach my goal it's NOT going to be cheap... Lol

If you think your not losing enough weight. You wanna see bones. I'm not afraid to show you. I have till next year 3 months before surgery to gain weight if not surgeon will not operate on me.

Being slim is cute if your looking at my bones that's not cute. This is what 5 foot 113 pounds looks like

No you look fantastic! BUT I do understand the need for personal satisfaction with yourself. If you feel you need the plastic surgery, go for it! You will still look amazing. :D

Yes. I've seen a lot of before and after pictures and for some people there excess skin makes it look like they didn't lose very much weight. I won't have an option of plastic surgery so if my excess skin is bad ill have a body image issue with that too

Ok so ask your self this question. Don't you alread have a body image issue? Also would you rather lose 100 pounds and have 20 extra that you need surgery to take care of.. Everyone is different. Last month I was convinced that I need the surgery I my stomach area and well my body still had some surprise and it still loosing inches. Her I the gym a soon as you can and take up a sport. May train for a marathon.

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

        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
