Getting below 200 lbs has been one of my goals my entire adult life. This week, I finally got there!!! A little less than four months post surgery and I'm down to 197 (down 65 lbs)!!! I am so excited! I'm more than half way to my goal weight of 150, and I can't believe that another 6 months from now I could totally be there! I was also finally able to buy my first Lululemon hoodie, which I bought to Celebrate this huge milestone. I am sooooooo happy I had this surgery and how it has changed my life! This week people outside my close circle started to comment on my weight loss. People who work at my hospital, teachers at my daughter's school, even the checker at our grocery store all started complementing me. It felt really good to have people notice! We're leaving for disneyland in 5 days and meeting up with some family who don't know about my surgery yet. I can't wait for them to see the new me in progress! I'm also excited about flying on a plane without all the stress any worry about spilling into the next seat! Anyway, thanks for all of the support, and I hope everyone has a very happy thanksgiving tomorrow!!!!post-204117-14170563140099_thumb.jpg post-204117-14170563256478_thumb.jpg post-204117-14170563449221_thumb.jpg

      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.
