A belated Merry Christmas to those in Bariatric land who celebrate! How have the holidays been for everyone? I haven't had much issue now that the Cookies are all gone from the cookie exchange I attended a few weeks ago! Moderation is key and I'm making healthy choices most of the time! Would love to hear how everyone has been! We used to be such an active post. What happened?!?!??

Looking good guys! I wish I could post a pic as I'm proud of my success! I'm a tad nervous as the only people who know I had wls are my partner and my parents! Even my two kids are clueless! We were out to lunch the other day and my 13 y.o son said to me, "are you still thinking about having that surgery where they remove your stomach?" I laughed and said, "I had it, how do you think I've gone from 241 to 159 pounds?" His response? "Mom, don't you think we would notice if your stomach was cut open and if you stayed in a hospital?" Well there you go. If you didn't know how ego-centric teenagers are, they are both clueless to 1) hospitals kicking patients out the day after surgery and 2) modern advances in surgery! They didnt believe me when I tried telling them the truth! Let them be clueless. I'm just fine not having others knowing the secret to my success :)

How is everyone doing?? I haven't been on here in a while. I was 274 when I started my classes. 255 when I saw my surgeon for the first time and now I'm hovering around 155. I stopped going to the gym because I was really comfotable in my body, but decided I want to lose a little more around my tummy. I don't have much lose skin at all. My boobs are like tiny floppy pancakes (while I always thought I was well endowed with a big booty and nice boobs, it ends up they were both just fat). They were the first to go. I can't find a bra to fit. But hey, if that's all I got to say that's even remotely negative then I will take it!!! My husband is well on his way to getting approved for his surgery and hoping to have his surgery in the next month or so. Well anyways....I'm extremely pleased with how thia all went down and miss reading everyone's updates...so check in and let us know how it's going.

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been around. Life is good! I'm down to 157! 6 more pounds to hit 100 lbs gone forever! Trying to stay on track but sometimes that chocolate calls my name. I guess eating such a little bit has come part of my life. I dont realize it until we go out to dinner (which is rarely) and I can hardly eat anything. Even when I order an appetizer size. I am SO glad I did this. I'm wearing a size 6-8 and I don't ever remember wearing that size!! I hope you are all doing well! This journey has been amazing ????

      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.
