My personal blog (hopefully this is allowed)



Recommended Posts

I started a blog about 4 years ago, and I have decided to utilize it to keep track of my surgery journey. Hopefully the forums don't frown upon this. If it's a no no, I will remove the link. This isn't a ploy for any monetary gain, just wanted to share my thoughts with the group.

I would love to get some opinions or meet other bloggers and sleevers. Support will definitely be needed as I get closer to the surgery date.

My blog can be found at http://www.bigfatloserblog.com

I look forward to seeing your opinions here.

Welcome to the forum. I don't think you will have any issues putting up your link. But you might consider creating a blog on this forum and copying your stuff in both places, that way, the people on this forum that follow you will be notified of a new post.

Done! I went ahead and started a blog here and posted the last handful of posts from my site.

Thanks for the help and advice.

If you are talking about my website, I can do either. I haven't tried to make a blog entry on this website from my phone but I see no reason why it wouldn't work

      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.
