Finally Becoming Happy



Recommended Posts

This has been a roller coaster ride so far and I know it's still going to continue. But for the first time in a long time I am finally finding myself and becoming happy. I was the girl who would always go out of my way to please everyone but now I'm finally do things to please me. I have found out who the true friends are and who are the fake ones. I've learned not to be so hard on my self and things take time. I didn't gain it in a day, I won't be losing it in a day either. It's been 3 1/2 months since my surgery and I've lost 60lbs. That's more then I have ever lost before. I weigh less now then I did in the 8th grade (btw I'm 24 now). I put 3 pictures together today and I can't stop staring at it. I seriously can't believe this is me now. I have never been happier! Can't wait to see what else is in store for the new me!!

      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.
