I'm 5 weeks out and have three boys ages 11, 6, and 1. It has been challenging for me and I'm exhausted! I work and am in the last 3 months of school! Crazy life. Hopefully we can motivate each other!

Honestly my recovery was super easy. I felt 95% back to normal on day 3. I have 3 kiddos and we run a couple businesses. I have much more energy than ever before.

I think you will be amazed at how well you will do. Today I climbed up a

3 story circular enclosed tube slide to play with my toddler. Them preceded to enjoy going down the slide. I still remember when I used to freak out if the kids got hurt on one of those massive playgrounds. I knew I wouldn't be able to fit inside and go after my child. Now, I did it for fun!

The liquid phase was...awful! My recovery is going well...praise God! Just a little sore still and mostly only if I over do it. Glad y'all are doing well too!!

Hi! I'm 3mos from surgery and am down a little over 50lbs (72.5lbs) all together. I have a 14yo and a 9yo. Can I count my hubby he's 33;)? lol we just moved to Washington DC for a job promotion about a month after my surgery....it's been insane! Trying to establish our routines in a new place and me having a new job, with new eating habits! It's been hard and frustrating but also wonderful and liberating. I have so much more energy and for the first time in my daughters life-I slid down the slide with her! Twice! Sometimes my family can't keep up with me now!

My daughter is 13 and she is super excited to have me be skinny again and she said she will love shopping for clothes with me and being able to do fun stuff with me when I'm a normal weight. She and I already share Entrees at restaurants so that wont be a big change.

      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.
