Michelle (Southern Bandgal started a pic trail for me, so I am working on scanning a before pic) I will bring some photos to Vegas with me, so you can see how big I really was. Not a lot of before pics though. I hated to have my picture taken.

See yall in Vegas now!!!!

Hi Ms. Vera,

Whatcha doin up so late? My excuse is that I almost never sleep since I lost all this weight. I seem to have boundless energy and sleep maybe 4 -5 hours.

You look sooooo good, Goll, 138 pounds gone forever! How long did it take you to lose it? And looking for a little encouragement because so far I am doing really well, but had a couple days when it seemed like no restriction, so went off the wagon a bit. Did you have some of these days?

Wow -- fabulous! I can't even imagine the beauty in that picture plus 138 pounds. You are an inspiration to all of us. Who's the cute little guy in the photo?

Hi,

Cindy: I have lots of days where there is little restriction and I jump off the bandwagon and eat crap. THe trick is to get back on quickly. I lost 120 in my first year and 18 in the last 3 1/2 months. It is slowing down to about a pound a week.

Zoe: The little guy is my 2 1/2 year old Ryan. I had a pic left on the roll, so I took it right before I was getting it developed. I am bringing before pics to Vegas. Dont have many of them, but will bring what I have.

Donali: Thanks so much for the compliments. I cant wait to meet you.

My gosh, Babs, you're skinnier than the baby! You look amazing, and I can't believe you're think you take bad pictures. There's no such thing as a bad pic for someone that's lost that kind weight. FOXY!

Lisa,

You have a way with words. (Skinnier than the baby had me cracking up!) You should really consider a career as a satirical writer. I would be happy to co publish a book with you. At least we can make some money from our misunderstood and warped perceptions of life! LOL

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
