Had a male friend who had not seem me for awhile and had always ben super thin who has now put on a little weight tell me I was so skinny not really true but nice to hear, especially from another alpha male.

A terrific incentive not to give up.

So very nice when people notice especially when you really need to hear something positive.

Got to post this one in share your nsv's here, I had about the same thing happen to me at the beginning of March , I stopped by where I used to work and one of my old Managers that is like in his 20's looked at e and said dang you have lost a LOT of weight and you look real good , made this 50 yr, Lady feel good , but then I told him I always looked good , there was just more of me , just y sense of humor , he knew it, but I was trying to talk to ne else and he kept staring so it made e feel real good, I know I like the compliments and that is great for you , I bet that made your day for some one to say that you were skinny, I will never e skinny , but I will take healthy and for some one to say that they notice I have los weight.

I am being called "skinny" now..NEVER has my name and skinny been used in the same sentence. I love it. Has it been easy - Heck NO..Would I do this again - Absolutely...

So, enjoy the moment, enjoy being called Skinny and keep up the good work.

      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.
