Hey everyone!

Life has been crazy and I've been so busy. I'm moving Sunday so once that is done I'll have more time to chat! :)

I wanted to do a quick check in because i reached my nutritionist goal for me yesterday!!

I can't believe I finally made it here! It has actually happened! My doctor said I would get here before 6 months and he was right!

Gastric Bypass: Feb 19 ( 4months and 5 days).

Start : 230 lbs, XXL, 40D, pants 14-16 (not sure exactly because always wore elastic).

Current: 145 lbs, S-M, 34C, pants 6-8 (depends on brand. I just bought jean shorts that are 8 in juniors!)

I'm very fortunate to not have a lot of excess skin... Again my doctor said I probably wouldn't because I'm young.

I still get sick some times but it's usually my fault for eating something I shouldn't, so I need to stop that. Lol :)

I feel good otherwise. I'm sleeping great, have energy/ stamina. It's crazy how people treat you different when you are skinny. I appreciate the attention..: I mean, who wouldn't feel good about themselves after 5 college guys go crazy yelling how beautiful you are when you get out of your car at Walmart! Lol At same time though it makes me sad when I think about how society treats people so differently because of their weight. :(

Anyways.... I need some sleep. My oldest daughter has Girl Scout camp in the morning.

Good night everyone!

HB

Good luck to everyone else out there! Stay motivated!!!?

      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.
