I never really noticed my arms before, but yes they are smaller.

Thanks everyone I sometimes feel like I cant see my weight loss until I look at pics. It is a great idea to track your progress.

Your post made me actually take some photo's today! OK dressing up in the office for Halloween did it too. There are days when yeah my clothes feel big and the numbers on the scale move...but you are SOOO right about taking the pictures!!!

I can see it in my face, my arms, my boobs (that day of surgery picture scares even me!!) It really is nice to see some changes as well as feel them!

Glad for you!!! I had my fiance take pics of me. I sometimes feel like I cant see what others see, if you no what i mean. I didnt think i was getting that small. I do notice a huge diffrence in my waist. I was in a 22-24 pants and recently bought 14-16 pants. My boobies did shrink a little also. I also have one pic the night before surgery of me and my daughter of a close up of our faces, huge diffrence in my face. I never realized how chunky my face was before.

Boy was that difficult to get loaded! You can see my photo from the day of surgery my husband took at the hospital and today at the office :)

Everyone keeps asking me what I'm eating...haven't touched the candy!!!! Had a slice of pot roast and some peas and carrots for lunch...coffee and a few cubes of low fat low sodium cheese this morning.

So far so good....:)

      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.
