What is your WLS Song?



Recommended Posts

So I started listening to some old music on my ipod today and two songs spoke to me in a different way than from when I listened to them back in the day. One was U2s "Some Days are Better than Others" which I used to like for the music...but today it reminded me that the journey to a healthy me is not going to be a straight line...there will be some days better than others. The second was an Alanis Morrisette song called "Not As We". The song is basically about starting over after a bad relationship...but it spoke to me in a different way as I get nearer to my surgery date. The chorus has the phrase "Day one and I'll start again" which I think is what resonated with me.

So then I got to thinking wonder if other people have a song that inspires, motivates or that just resonates differently with them as they are on their own WLS journeys....

Yes I had (have) one! A couple of months before I went in for surgery I was listening to a song that really spoke to me. It was Michael Jackson 'Man In The Mirror'. I still listen to it and it keeps me moving!

My husband and I had surgery the same day. Our song is "Here's to Us" by Halestorm.

I agree with Roar by Katy Perry. Also Stuck in a Moment by U2 and Long Nights by Eddie Vedder

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
