Btw Butter, one of my good friends decided to have the sleeve...he was totally convinced when I showed him your before and after pics. He had his surgery last Monday and is doing really good. Just wanted to let you know that you've inspired someone you don't even know:)

Well that is awesome. Had I known I could have sent him all my transition clothes that I bought and then got too small for.

I'm still in the head that I don't quite believe transition clothes are a thing. As in, I'll never transition in or transition out. I did break down and give away a suit and two dresses this weekend to a friend. Progress...

My wife's people live up north of Alexandria where the churches and fried turkeys run rampant and sensibility has been outlawed. My tiny martial victory is that I don't have to go there for both thanksgiving and Xmas. I'd rather go turkey day and stay home Xmas but I get outvoted on that every year. But either way I get gumbo.

Gumbo will make up for a lot ;-P I have friends in Alexandria/Pineville. I'm closer to Baton Rouge

He's doing so good! I measured his neck yesterday and it was down 1 1/4 inches from the week before!! Wow!

My FIL preaches in Montgomery but they live in a tiny tiny berg called Atlanta near Winfield. Population 133 and he was the mayor for 33 years.

Lol. You must know my FIL then. Fundamentalist southern baptist preacher AND a politician. Every time I step foot in his house I feel like I just traveled back in time 75 years. My only clue that's it's all real is Fox News playing on a continuous 24 hour loop on the tv. The only other show he gets is gunsmoke.

Yep....I knew I dated one for a while. You just described her perfectly.

This is wrong on so many levels....including the fact that it made me snort while laughing....

Sounds like it must be an amazing place to visit!!! No wonder you love going there so much!

Have to throw in my childhood weird sandwich. Butter and sugar on white bread.

There's no wonder I got fat.

We used to have those as kids too! It's amazing to me how certain things kids like can cross continents.

Am I the only one that ate Peanut Butter and honey sandwiches daily?

No you're not. My dad would make us those with crunchy peanut butter but he would add a banana. That's how his grandmother made them for him.

Me too, only we toasted the bread.

Oh and my recent pre-sleeve vice? Honey butter and Nutella on toast. So totally yummy!

      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.
