6 months in 105 lbs down! LOVING LIFE!



Recommended Posts

I am just so excited each day to have the energy to do stuff....doesn't matter what, I don't have to worry anymore about being too tired to chase my 4 and 5 yr old around anymore...they have to worry about keeping up with me!

Best Decision Ever!!!

Biggest Awesome moment? Picking something up, a shirt, from a normal store...getting it home and it was BIG!!! normal sizes are too big for me! I don't have to shop in mens anymore for tshirts to support my favorite football team, I can wear the cutesy womens tops!! I am in heaven!!

Crossing my legs, who knew it was so comfortable? :)

The bathroom stalls, I guess they weren't designed small...it was just me filling the whole stall, now I don't have to search out for the biggest one, I can just go!

Life is good...and hubby certainly doesn't mind my extra "energy" ha ha!!

I'm so thrilled for you! I totally understand the big, men's football t-shirts...I hope I can get some of the cute womens stuff someday, too! I hate having to go online to look for my 4x men's Seahawks shirts! I just want more choices, dang it!

I'm just beginning to look into surgery, so it will be a while for me, but stories like yours are what get me excited about the possibilities! Thank you for sharing, and can't wait to watch your progress.

A typical day for me includes:

1. Trying as hard as I can to at least get in 10,000 steps a day. I don't get there every day but I have a Fit Bit that really helps me track how active I have been during the day. I need to get into more strength training but I have 2 little ones so time is rough, but I will only use that excuse for a little bit longer, we just moved so we are in the process of setting up our home gym again.

2. Breakfast....Always 1-1.5 eggs scrambled with a little cheese sprinkled on top

3. lunch - I bring a small wrap with Turkey and cheese - I can only get through half of it but bringing my own food has helped me control what is going in.

4. dinner - We typically make chicken or something with ground beef in it, vegetable and a noodle of some kind, I am sure that I take in my chicken and vegetable ahead of any carbs...generally by the time I get in the first two I don't have any space left for carbs :)

5. If I need a snack, I put a Cheese stick in my lunch bag, not a lot of calories and it really fills me up. Not a lot going in, trying to get in all of my Water, still taking my Vitamins and Calcium chews so that's great.

I hope this helps! it's not a great plan but I guess it's working for me :) down 106 as of today!! Woo hoo!!

      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.
