I'm actually starting to get arm pits! I told my nurse coach this and she laughed! That was a new one on her! I said I've always had fat arms and now there is some definition. Lol!!

I'm constantly trying to cross my legs. Lol. Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't but I'm so close to being able to do it comfortably. I can't wait!!

I wanted to add more angry emoticons to my message but this site won't allow that. There's a cap on how many emoticons you can have in a message??? Why on earth is that???

I know that I'm smaller but, when I go shopping I still find myself trying on my old size. Then I have to go get everything in a smaller size. This has got to STOP!!! :blink:

Wow Blondiee, you have done GREAT! Amazing weight loss, and terrific about your size changes - but yes, the expense bites. I stopped at our local Value Village today though, and found a cute Jones New York cardigan and a wonderful summer T with sleeves long enough to cover my upper arms - FIND! Try the thrift stores if you can, and costco has great prices on things like basic nice jeans. Just be sure to wear something like leggings to slip them on over - there's no changing rooms.

My surgery is next Tuesday, and I'm SO jealous of how great you've done - I want to be you!

Thanks for the encouragement Blondiee. I just got back from my pre-op and all is well! He's pleased that he couldn't 'find' my liver and said that means my pre-op diet is doing what it ought to. Also said I'd lost 13 pounds - I said, 'No - ten' but then he told me their scale is heavy by a good three pounds! LOL. So even better. It's only been about 12 days on the diet too. No loss the past three days, but it'll come off when it does. I"m under 900 calories a day, so it pretty much has to.

I'm so excited - Tuesday is my day for surgery! Yes!!

      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.
