Since I'm now officially slim/tiny woman. I want to reach out to those that are struggling with thinking about having WLS,and if you don't want to have WLS I'm still here for you. It's very easy to judge a book by it's cover with out knowing or walking in the other person's shoes. WLS isn't for everyone,and let's face it we are human. If we are here it's cause we have a weight issue/problem,and we want to live a long healthy life for our self spouse family,and of course kids,and who know our pets need some love from us.

There was one point in my life I was doing so great I got selfish,and neglected the group,but it wasn't with the wrong intentions I felt I didn't fit in anymore,but guess what? I fit in why? I'm here to inspire you,and make you believe,and know I'm a real person not a computer. I'm human. I have emotions. I have a family. I have goals. I have a life. I have kids. I'm your friend. I'm your support system. I'm here for you in good times,and bad times.

I send out a bunch of messages this morning for members I haven't seen post in over a year. Did they reach goal? Did they regain? Did they move? Who knows,but we are here if you want to become an active member again. This is not a site to bash,and judge one another. We are a group of people from all over the place here to support,and give support.

We are here to help you out. This isn't only about weight lost. We can talk about our kids,pets,spouse,future plastic surgeries. How you feel. If you have emotional issues. What ever is on your mind.

I'M YOUR FRIEND. I'M HERE TO HELP & INSPIRE YOU. Message me ask me questions post it here anywhere. As long as I'm living,and have my hands :) I will message you back. Any time any day.. I will get back to everyone as soon as possible. It's summer time in NYC so I do spend a lot of time with my kids,but be sure that I will check on the group.

have a wonderful day... A reminder I started at 211 pounds I'm now 109 pounds from size 18 to size 1... You can make this tool work for you & or have a NUT or doctor help you out. That's what insurance are for,and dietician if you want to do it the old fashion way. I don't blame you. Surgery is serious...

Did u exercise a lot? I'm having a hard time getting motivated. I'm still really tired. I'm down 90 lbs since 1/29/13.

I only do a lot of walking. I will start the Shaun T starting Monday. I can't over do it cuz I need to gain weight to transfer the fat to my butt. So if I exercise I won't have any fat to transfer that's why I'm only walking.

Let me explain. I burn off 90% of my fat because I did exercise like crazy & walk crunches you name it. I was determine to lose weight & when I saw my surgeon he was shock in 3 months I lost all this weight. So I cut down but did crunches my belly got flat I only have saggy skin. After seeing I'm saggy. I reach 109 pounds I saw a plastic surgeon that needs me to gain weight 15/20 to transfer all that to my butt. That's why I not exercising. I'm holding into my fat. Need it fir surgery next year.

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
