I wore a strapless dress today for the first time since I was 8 or 9. A little awkward at first but ended up loving it and not fretting the upper arm jiggle! Also wandered around a grocery store in key west in nothing but a bathing suit... Previously would had a shirt or towel or SOMETHING covering that stuff up!

That's great - have a great vacation and lose weight! Vacations have often been dreaded by me (airline seats, roller coasters) but as a family we are already planning a trip for next year and I can't wait!!!

It was truly awesome! I still have 60 pounds to go but I fit in the seat fine, had extra room with the belt, could lay the tray flat! I transferred in Atlanta yesterday and had to go from terminal A to terminal E. I had 2.5 hours so I walked it instead of taking the train, was just a nice stroll, no huffing/puffing/sweating...my fellow vacationers gave out snorkeling before I did cuz they got tired. It was awesome not having to worry about who is be sitting next to or when I'd get a chance to sit down :)

That has to be great and so freeing on the mind. I am glad you had a great time.

      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
