Someone asked what I do?

Low carb, high Protein, and I followed my doc's orders as far as food stages. I have occasional treats so I never feel deprived and I eat until I'm comfortable which does not mean full.

I am usually around 1100 calories a day and I rarely use Protein drinks or bars. I eat a lot of Jerky, cheese, roast beef from the deli, seafood or chicken salad and shrimp.

It's truly the best "diet" I've ever been on because I don't feel like I'm dieting, I'm simply making the right choices for my body.

Exercise is kickboxing, martial arts and zumba. Looooooove zumba. I now do mud runs and 5k obstacle courses (what the what?!?!?), teach kickboxing and regularly get in my 10k steps. I wear my fitbit everyday and I love to move.

Did I already say that this was the best decision ever?

Y'all are too kind! Believe me when I say I have shopped. And shopped. And shopped. And shopped and shopped and shopped and shopped... It's my new favorite thing. My husband is kind of wondering if I am ever going to stop. HA!

3 years later I'm still shopping. For me it hasn't stopped!

You look amazing. Congrats! My new addiction too is shopping and I may drive hubby wacko showing him daily a new shirt or dress I bought but it feels great to be able to go in a store and buy off a rack instead of a plus size store. Im just I loving it as it sounds like you are too :). Ahhhhhh kickboxing my new favorite workout :)

      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. 🤞
