I had surgery on 11/19. I had someone ask me when will it start working. I just said a prayer and shook my head. For some ignorance is truly bliss.

My husbands family is so overweight, but they all comment in my weight, up or down. My mother in law used to work for weight watchers ( oh the irony), and is now about 100 lbs overweight....she keeps asking me for my diet secrets. They don't know about my surgery; they've made their thoughts on that well known. The weird thing us, they comment about weight in a very shaming way, but they also make a ridiculous amount of unhealthy food, and then comment as everyone eats it. It's like a family if alcoholics having an open bar. Very weird and dysfunctional.

It is weird how some people and families deal with weight, almost like because they are living it and not looking in, its like they have no clue what they are doing wrong.

I dated a guy once with diabetes, we went to his parents for dinner all thru dinner his mom lectured him on how he needs to control it but at the same time telling him to eat more potatoes and they make pie....I finally had to speak up and told her she was part of his problem to stop feeding him...she looked at me with bewilderment ...that was a short relationship lol

      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. 🤞
