This year has flown by! I have come

long way and sometimes have to look at pictures to remind myself where I started. I was talking to a friend and she told me that I don't give myself enough credit, I never have even before the weight loss. When I look in the mirror I don't see what everyone else sees. Is it that way for any of you? I pick up smaller clothes and am always totally shocked when they fit. I've gone from a size 28 to an 18/20.

You know, it's funny isn't it. I was very thin and athletic my whole life. I grew up a gymnast so hard work is no stranger. I didn't develop a weight problem until around 31 yrs and its gotten worse over the last ten years. What's weird is when I look in the mirror I still see me. Then I'll see a picture of myself and I don't even recognize the person in it. Or I'll catch my reflection walking through the mall and I just can't believe I let this happen to me. I don't know why our brains play this dirty little trick on us. For me it's so severe I have to take a picture of myself to "see" how I look if I'm going out. But just as I earned my self image you have eearned yours. If your in doubt about how you look in something, try taking a selfie... it'll help. Btw... congratulations,, you so beautiful you have blown your own mind!

      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. 🤞
