104 lbs difference between the 2 sets
138 lbs dropped total for both WLS's
78 lbs dropped since March 2nd 2018

I've had setbacks that lasted years. I've had times where I felt like a failure. I've have times where I'd given up. But I didn't accept any of that BS.

It's not how we fall, it's how we get back that matters.
Even if you've given up right now... unless you are dead, you can still get up, dust off and get back on track.

Huge CONGRATS to all of you!!!! You are ALL killing it. @Matt Z thank you for posting this today. I just had my second post op with my surgeon. NP said I am clear of restrictions at this point and I can start working out, just have to take it slow. Viewing this thread has lit a fire under my A$$ like you wouldn't believe. Thank you ALL for your accomplishments and your motivation!!!!!!

You are an inspiration, truly amazing work you put in..

but I feel like a bad person because all I can focus on are the xx's taped to your chest. I think I need retraining of some sort lol

CONGRATS!!

That's not tape. Those are tattoos. And it's like a car crash or a train wreck... it's just tough to look away.

Long story short, I **HATED** my nipples, so I crossed them off.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
