Hello all



Recommended Posts

I: I hope you are all well! My life is going fabulous! Still watching what I eat and trying to tweak my nutrition. Had a long year of injuries from running. So I have narrowed it down to needing more nutrients. Protein Shakes galore. Lol

In may I will Celebrate my 3rd surgiversary! Seem so unreal to me even now!

My body image is still outta whack, almost 3yrs and I still see the fat guy. But fortunately the scale and mirror says different.

I am truly thankful for the life this tool has afforded me!

Nothing tastes as good as thin!

Thats me doing the electric slide at the chocolate run in Dallas two weeks ago in my MnM costume :-)

Awesome job on the chocolate run (could that be ANY MORE TEMPTING...lol....did they serve choc. at the finish line?) But your costume is a GREAT way to Celebrate choc w/out eating any of it!!

Oh, I ate the chocolate. It remains my one weakness! I am such a chocoho!! Lol

Anymore, i have a hard time getting enough of anything in to keep up with the running demands.

In fact I have considered giving up the half marathons as my body has really hard time nutritionally at those linger distances.

I'm a baby among you guys... Not even 2 years out yet.

Congrats on the chocolate run. I'm not a big chocolate fan but if there is ever a cupcake run, count me in

      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.
