What do you want to say that you can do 6 months after your surgery?



Recommended Posts

I haven't had my surgery yet but I'm so proud of my current weight loss and all I see and feel is all the things I couldn't do before now looking very possible...

I can stand with my feet together(touching)..always a challenge with huge thighs

I crossed my legs half way...looking forward to the full cross

I ran for a bus...like took off and left my husband standing in amazement!!

I ran as a workout instead of my normal brisk walk

I can pick my 16 year old up off the floor, she weighs 115

I want to be able to beat my husband in a foot race

I want to be a pro at Yoga, daughter got me started on intermediate level

I want to wear an all white form fitted dress

I want to sit on the bus and not take up so much of the seat that no one else wants to squeeze in

continue to add to the list...let me see what I haven't thought about....Thanks

I want to be able to go on vacation with my family and 1) ride on the airplane without worrying about if I fit in the seats 2) wear shorts to walk around in the summer heat 3) ride the park rides without any worry about getting kicked off. We are planning vacation almost exactly six months after I'm supposed to have surgery, so it's a pretty serious goal for me!

      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. 🤞
