I agree you look Fab~U.. What exercise plan did you incorporate to your new life style?

I cannot really contribute my weight loss success on exercise. During weight loss, honestly, it was very light. Usually only Pilates. And not a lot of it. I was just lucky and don't really have loose skin. I just started doing squats to firm my butt up a little, but otherwise I'm not really flabby anywhere and I have a pretty tight tummy too. I'm about to start running though, but mostly because I have so much energy now and I need to get it out! I know that sounds silly. But starting running will mostly only be because I want to be in the best cardiovascular health. And by the way, I don't encourage others to exercise as little as I did. I have just always been in the mindset of diet 90% and exercise is 10%. It isn't like that for everyone. I think I just got lucky.

I am interested in your exercise regimen and how many carbs in the wgt loss phase?

Read my above reply about the exercise. As for carbs during weight loss, very little. Max of 25 I'd say. I eat much higher than that now to maintain. My dietician and surgeon are very serious about carbs during weight loss.

Did you have cheat days? Cheat meals?

A cheat day, absolutely not. Why cheat for an entire day? Sounds like a big fat recipe for disaster. :) Cheat meals, yes. Not many, and I made up the calories elsewhere. I did have treats, but healthier treats. Not a Snickers bar. :)

Jenny, you look amazing! I wanted to say thanks because you were a huge help and inspiration to me on my journey. We share the same surgeon and you were so great about answering questions.

I am thrilled to say things went ridiculously smoothly. I'm a little over 3 weeks out and I've lost 24.4 pounds.

From one shortie to another, thank you so very much!

      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.
