Hi everyone i decided to share some pics of myself b4 and updated ones, yesterday i went shopping with my oldest child and saw a few friends that i hadn't seen in a while and i must say their reactions when they saw me was PRICELESS and felt AMAZING =) i know i still have a looooong way 2 go but at almost 3 months out the feeling is just incredible my stamina, energy is just over the roof i am soo happy with the new me i have to admit i still can't get used to NOT shopping in the plus size section all of my pre-surgery clothes were sizes 1x 2x and even 3x, 18, 20, and 22, and now everytime i walk in a store i automatically walk towards plus sizes and my daughter grabs me and says mom you are no longer in those sizes lol gotta love her now i am size medium and by the looks of it i need to start buying small from now on pant size 12 ....words just can't explain how wierd but GREEEAAT it is, i feel VERY restricted as far as eating, sad part my hair has started to fall and my scalp hurts alot, but its all worth it anyways sorry so long thanks 4 reading ;)

Thanks Lioness813 Congrats 2 you, Recovery from surgery i have to say was great no complications at all thank God the only thing was that after surgery i could not drink my Protein Shakes the smell, the taste, i just can't and i haven't been able to do so since so i try and get my Protein from my foods, i don't feel hungry much of the time, a daily sample menu for me would be Vitamins in the morning, i have a boiled egg for Breakfast or some oatmeal, then 2 hours later i'll have some fruit and cheese, then if i get hungry for lunch i'll have some tuna with 3 or 4 unsalted crackers then dinner would be a chicken salad, or chicken and vegetables or Soup, i have already tried most of the foods i used to eat b4 surgery already like bread and rice which i dont eat much of because i feel are too strong on my little stomache, but i haven't had any problems with any of the foods yet i just feel my stomache very restricted still like 2 or 3 spoons or bites of something and i am full then in the evenings i take my Calcium vitamins and a snack before bed like a fruit, or sugar free hot cocoa something light

      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.
