Ok...so I was reading all of this at work and busted out laughing because it is all so true! Everyone thinks I am nuts now. You all are so great and such motivation.

I dont know--- my extra weight gave me a lot of momentum, shot out of the Water slide like a cannonball! My mom snorted and laughed so hard...

And I am extra bouyant when i snorkel, but gonna need a big paddle board to float on when the seal blubber goes!

OMG! Sounds like me! And I so have a fear of the fire department having to rescue me too...

I am laughing so hard at work my coworkers are thinking I've lost my mind! (well, they know i am a nut anyway!)

I will not miss stinky shoes. I would not wear socks because I didn't want my hubby to see me struggle to put them on. I can put on socks now no problem!

I know. I would have my friend put my sucks on for me and tie my walking shoes when we were gonna work out while my hubby was at work. I'm glad that is over.

I will not miss...

- being held back from doing so many physical things because my weight limits my energy and too much pain

- being constantly underestimated because of the way I look

- buying clothes from catalogs

- my chest and my neck fat meeting (HATE IT)

- shirts constantly riding up my belly

- feeling so darn physically awkward all the time

- looking older than I am

And pretty much everything everyone else has already said! Good riddance!

I know what you mean!! My shirts used to be too short all the time!! And I wanted them long enough to cover my big belly so people wouldnt stare at it. And I cant say enough how wonderful the added energy is! LOVE IT!

Well u know what I noticed?!? I am opening the bathroom door in public bathrooms and not try to do some weird dance squeezing in and trying not to brush all up on the toilet trying to get into the stall cause the area inside the stall is too small. I hate public toilets anyways and totally get grossed out. Feel so much better when I'm able to just open the door and walk in.

I don't miss my boobs ending up under my neck when I lay down. And my snoring has stopped. The only snoring my husband hears now is from the dog! :-)

        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
