GL to you! Follow what your doctor says and it we happen! I'm so glad I can inspire you! It's why I posted those horrible before photos! My husband never even saw those pics! (Obviously he sees me everyday but I just don't feel comfortable showing them to him.) I was hoping that someone might be inspired or have hope that they can change too by seeing results. Stay positive and I'm sure you will be inspiring others soon enough. :)

Thanks!! :)

I just saw my doctor last week. He was very happy with where I was at!! It got a little weird because he started telling me that he knew I was going to look hot after this surgery because my face is really pretty.... He goes on to say to make sure I stay faithful to my husband because he's heard and seen a lot of people cheat on their significant others after surgery because they start getting all of this attention from guys! I'm like uhhhh... I've been married 9 years and we've been together 13 years and have 4 kids. Plus he's hot so I'm not going anywhere!!! Lol it was an odd convo!! Anyways... He said he expects to see me below 150 at my next visit in August. He said it should be an easy goal to reach as long as I keep doing what I'm doing. I'm excited!!! Can't wait!! I expect to be under that because I'm currently 168!!! I only need 18 pounds in 3 months... I'm hoping to be at my goal weight which is 140 by August. That will be 6 months post op which is when my doctor and I said I should reach my goal! Can't wait!!! It's been hard at times but best decision I ever made!!!

Btw-- anyone who is curious about sizes and/or would like some motivation.

I started wearing a XXL in tops and dresses. I could wear XL in yoga/ stretch type pants. I never worn jeans because I couldn't find ones that I liked but I was about a 16.

I just went and bought some clothes!!! I'm so excited!! I'm wearing mainly M and a couple L tops because the cuts made them not long enough. I bought some medium dresses and sleepwear also!!! I bought 2 pairs of jean capris. 1 pair is a size 9 and the other is a 9/10. I also had some clothes from a few years ago that I saved but couldn't fit into before surgery. My size 11 jean capris that I use to squeeze into and gave me crazy muffin top are too big!!! I have to keep hiking them up because they fall down!!

For the women, I was wearing a 40D bra. I'm now wearing a 38C. I have to put the hooks on the smallest ones however. I probably could go down to a 36 but don't want to spend money on bras yet.

Single digit clothes size sounds amazing, even though my number one reason is health.... I don't really mind looking better.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
