All I can do is add to the accolades. It's a beautiful picture of you and your daughter. I'm sure that you will both treasure this and all future photos. It's true....we want those memories and the pictures are wonderful to have and look through. Make sure you take many more.

Roo,

Thank you for your reply & your comments. I will do it! I will take a picture with my baby when I get home tonight! It will serve as my "before" since I started my 2 week pre-op diet this morning.

I love it! I am going to do that-you inspired me to do a mother daughter photo, in matching colors on the beach when I get down there. Thanks for the inspiration. You are beautiful and so is your daughter. Love your hair!

My hair is a wig actually! But thank you...I had severe Hair loss before surgery due to PCOS and having to take blood thinners. The surgery was just the last in a line of things that caused it to fall out. My real hair is almost non existent on top and sides and only slightly better in back. I figured it would happen so I was proactive and bought the wigs before surgery. It was hard to get adjusted to at first, more mentally than physically. But I have been wearing since end of November so I am pretty acclimated to it now.

Glad to hear you decided to do the pics. It is hard not being critical of ourselves. But those who love us, who want those pictures, they don't see it. All they see is their loved one.

Hi and thanks for sharing!

Just wanted to let you know that I too have had that same issue, I have so few pictures of me with my family because of how I hated the way I looked in them and now the past is gone and there is no 'do over'. Time to live life and accept where we are at and what we look like, the good the bad and the ugly. I need to get some before and after pics myself but I have so few that it's a damn shame LOL.

You guys look great, keep up the good work!

        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
