Today I completed my first race called warrior dash. Let me tell you I'm an introvert and I think I am slowly come out if that and I really am beginning to feel fearless towards what others think of me. I did this race I climbed over hurdles under bob wire in the mud pit slid down a man mad Water slide over the end if the slide to a mud slide I climbed a rope over the wall I trekked through the forest past a golf course upshot steep ski hills walk the plank climb a man made climbing wall jumped fire and fell trying to throw mud at my husband at the finish line and guess what I was not fast I walked most of it and I survived 5 k of steep hills and all the above. Last year before surgery I was so shy I wouldn't even walk in the mall I always felt people where watching me and judging . Today I could careless I am me and I love me. Last year I could hardly walk for two inured with out pain in my feet.today I can walk and not get tired. 101lbs gone forever and I am thankful for my ryn as it has given me my life back but better and no worried. Whoop whoop I i survived . I enjoy my life and I enjoy being me. Pictures are in my photos of today . Thank you for your support everyone . You people are wonderful

Isn't it a great feeling!!! I love my new life to. Everyday I am lucky to be alive! I am working towards life dreams and making them come true. Tonight as I was working I drove past the hospital that did my surgery. I remembered what it was like those first few days, weeks and months. The feeling of regret for doing this to my body. I sit here today loving every minute of it. I even got a high five from a handsome guy who noticed my weight loss today.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
