Hey guys, what's up?!

Who remembers Woody's/Carol?! ALLLLL of you, I know! While perusing the boards, which I almost never do, I came across, on the GENERAL board, a thread by one "Woodys", who just happened to have reached her goal a couple days ago!

go give her sh!t for not telling US! I just did! *pout*

:update:

I know some of you oldtimers have been wondering how Cloe is. This is to let you know that she is alive & well & doin' great!!! She is very busy with life...not only with their lambing but also with her other job. And if that and her family weren't enough, she is busily working at opening her own business (online and at her home). That being said though, she sound really really happy, energetic, enthused and motivated!

Just thought some of you might like to know why she isn't around and provide you with the update! I'm really happy for her.

Green has lost a bunch of weight. I now weigh 155 lbs. And my giant liver is normal sized. I just got the results of the ultrasound. The downside is that my bushy hair is kinda thin at the moment. blehhh!

Thank you, thank you for your congratulations. :)I lost 45 lbs altogether and I am 5 lbs from the goal which TLBC set for me. The last 15 were kind of a cheat.:phanvan I caught a nasty bowel bug in Mexico and food doesn't stick around all that long.:girl_hug: I gotta get that fixed. I also got to get some more fill. I can eat quite a lot again. I gotta, gotta phone the fill nurse!:straight

I would love to visit Canada! In fact, I found a New England & Canada cruise that I am trying to talk my DGD into. But she's 14 and holding out for something with a beach.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
