I'm 3 pounds away from losing 100 pounds. If anyone would have told me a mere four months ago I'd be saying this right now I would have told them they were crazy, but here I am. I still have a lot left to lose but I am only 6 pounds away from my halfway goal!

I'm can totally relate! I'm down 80 pounds since the start of my journey. Hard to wrap my brain around it. When I started I was in a size 26 and am now fitting in some size 18s. I feel like I am now living and not just existing. This has been one of the best decisions of my life even with the rough beginning. Congrats on your weight loss!

I'm having a lot of problems with this site. I can't access personal messenger. It says I don't have permission. I tried multiple times to send a help request and it won't go through. This is such a bummer bc this is such a great source of support. :(

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
