I was riding my motorcycle the other day and got off to go into the store and a woman walking by was smiling real big and asked "how does such a tiny lady handle such a big bike". I haven't been referred to as tiny since...well never. I was on cloud 9 for the rest of the day.

It is so South Florida lol! I love this forum because you can't really "brag" or "whine" to anyone else :) I am so very happy for all of you and all of your NSVs - you make my heart smile!

Debbie - you look great & so healthy!

Go Walking - you are an inspiration to me and help us all remember all the little things we are missing when it comes to our weight loss/journey!

Chasing a Dream - you aren't chasing your dream - you are living it - look at those numbers :)

Sandy & CG - you have changed your whole lives and with every single post I want to be just like you!

& CG - you keep me in check - I don't want to get smacked by your pink feathery whip (although some people might think that was a little kinky) LOL :)

My NSV today is this. For the second time in three days, I am moving my younger daughter's college stuff out of her 14th floor dorm and bringing a carload home. Although my joints are hurting from my arthritis, I have not been out of breath even once. This is amazing to me, because less than six months ago, I could not walk even half a block with empty arms without getting winded. Now less than nine weeks postop, I can do all of this with ease and feel so much healthier. The surgery has truly saved my life.

I'm so happy! I've ditched the seat belt extender and flew to Europe with belt inches to spare! I walked the airports without getting winded. This trip is gonna be amazing! Five more hours until I'm reunited with my daughter who hasn't seen me since way before pre-op. I was even able to eat on the six hour flight to Dublin. I made sure to chew really well and take my time. On to Italy now. I feel like a normal person for a change!

Grabbed a pkg of undies and some pajamas, both mediums from Walmart. Tried them on at the hotel, THEY FIT JUST FINE !!!!! Well, Happy Mothers Day to me !!!

I average about 30,000 air miles a year so six years without a seat extender is truly a blessing.

Awesome feeling I bet love that normal is our normal now too !!!! Can't wait to fly in July and check out this seatbelt thing. Even planing to zip line on my vacation n my best friend ask in a positive way U reached the weight requirement . Grinning ear to ear I said yup secretly inside thinking first time in my life my weight isn't preventing me from trying something new.

Going for that short hair cut I wanted next weekend trying a new stylist as well my normal hairdresser I think would try to talk me out of it . I have had the same hair do more or less for the last 8 years or so. I have changed so much I need a change as well so shorter and chunkier highlights or blonder here I come.

About cutting hair. 4 years ago I cut off over 1 foot of hair. I went on line and looked at Raquel Welch's wig site. Best wigs that look like real hair. I went short and spiky and I was around 58-59 at the time. I printed 2-4 pictures and my hair dresser and I chose would look best for me. Been like that since. Good luck. I am a natural red head and hair red, hi lites and low lites and love it. Time for a new cut and color next week.

Good luck. Be brave!!

      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.
