1. Not feeling squished in an airline seat, not having to use a seatbelt extender

2. Not feeling stupid as the really unhealthy ED of a health related non profit

3. Being able to ski again, garden again, and other active stuff with my FAM

4. Actually feeling good in my skin.

5. Yeah new clothes too. No doubt.

6. Not being stressed about public appearances. My dad passed away this year and my overweight and having to face the old hometown folks at his funeral really made the grief worse. Plus I felt so damn selfish to be worrying about how I looked to people when I wanted to be focused on my dad. So I guess see #4.

Am happy to be on the road to better health!

New clothes, new coats, new shoes, cute underwear. Lol. Met my goal last week and need a second job to support my shopping habits. My big goal was to wear a pair of Ms Me jeans. I now have two pair. Bought a new Malibu to Celebrate. It's sporty and yes I am one of those "old people" who drive a car that's a little sporty. Now my challenge is to stop losing weight. Harder than I thought it would be! Good luck fellow sleevers on you NSV's.

I used to really love to swim, but I haven't worn a bathing suit in years. I'm not expecting to end up with a bikini model body, but I am looking forward to swimming with my nephews and being more comfortable on the beach.

Not sweating with every little exertion

I learned just the other day to begin appreciating the "little" NSV that will happen and you won't even realize it until you do it.

For the first time in I can't remember how long, I was actually able to bend over and tie my own shoes. I have worn shoes that slip on for as long as I can remember, but that day I put my sneakers on and tied them myself.

I almost cried.

      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.
