100 Pounds Lost



Recommended Posts

Today officially marks 100 pounds lost. I should be jumping for joy. I waited for this day. I was so excited for it. I've spent the last four days at the hospital with one of my best friends while her father was dying. She is young, only 25. I'm more like her stepmother. She lived with my husband and myself for the last year. It just kills me to see her going through this pain. They had to remove him from life support. I'm just so drained and so sad that I just can't Celebrate this loss. :/

Thank you all. It's been a tough week for myself and friend. Her father passed away the same way my brother did, by taking them off life support. So many old feelings started coming up. I spent so many days in the hospital that the only safe thing to eat was really Protein Shakes. Trying to work myself back onto food after a week of straight shakes.

      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.

      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.
