Not sure if flipagram will work but...



Recommended Posts

I made a flipagram video of the last 7 mths since being sleeved & I am hoping it uploads properly on here & everyone can see it. I am not sure how this will go as this is my first attempt @ trying to upload a video of any kind on to this site. I apologize ahead of time if it does not work. (So I am sorry) lol! Ok so here goes nothing...

In the last few pictures of the video I stuffed a throw pillow inside my old size 26 jeans to show approx how big I really was, as the jeans fit around the throw pillow the same way it used to fit around my belly. I jusy thought it was a cute way to show how far I have actually come these past 7 mths. I also thought it was a good way to show just how much extra room is in those size 26 jeans! I have no clue whay size I am now in jeans as I have only worn stretchy pants since being sleeved but just may make it my mission to go in to a store just to see what size I fit into now. I don't bother spending the money on jeans since they will not fit for very long & the stretchy pants last longer bcuz they shrink down with you for a little while!

My surgery was July 18, 2013, my SW: 321 LBS & my current weight is 232 LBS! I have lost a total of 89 LBS since getting my sleeve! I am only 11 LBS away from one of my goals of getting to the 100 LBS down mark which feels awesome & even though I will still have a lot to still lose after I hit that goal I am excited to be so close to a goal that seemed so far beyond my reach 7 mths ago!

I am loving this journey, every moment, every tear, every emotional rollercoaster ride I have taken, every hair that has fallen out, every good & bad day has been worth the quality of life I have regained since my surgery!

Hope the link works! Crossing my fingers & praying for the best!

Thank you very much! You can do one with whatever pictures you have & they are probably better then you think :) I hate my beginning pictures. However it has helped me to become the person I am today & for that I am grateful!

Awww!!! Thank you for your kind words I appreciate it very much! You are doing an awesome job! 30 lbs is a lot to lose in 3 mths & that means you are losing approx 10 lbs a mth which is fantastic progress!!! Its not only 30 lbs... it is 30 lbs you have lost in only 3 mths which is something you should feel extremely proud of & at that rate you will be caught up to me in no time sweetie!!! May god continue to bless you along this awesome journey!!! Stay strong & enjoy your life changing journey to the fullest!

I made a new flipagram when I hit the 101 lbs down mark. It has most of the same pics from the other one I had made but it has a different song & also my more recent 9 mth po pics in it as well. I will share my newest flipagram here with you all again! I hope you all enjoy it & the song so fits my life & journey right now & I absolutely love the song!!!! I will also make another one when I hit the one year post op date so keep your eyes open for it in July! Ok so here is my 9 mth po flipagram from April 18, 2014...

      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.
