I know, it's amazing that you lose weight everywhere but the cock, which gains size.

Never knew mine was so big.

I just had my surgery two weeks ago today, so I have a lot of work still ahead of me to get to my goal. But I am looking forward to many different activities: hiking in the hills, riding a bike, and taking long walks with my wife are just a few.

First and foremost I look forward to climbing a flight of stairs and not spending the next five minutes trying to catch my breath. I would also love to ride a bike again. And learn to swim. I haven't been in a pool in many years because I was too ashamed to be seen in a bathing suit.

I hated being called "big guy" too, but now I'm called Slim by some of the same people, not sure how I feel about that, either. Why can't I just be called "Dave"?

Some of the things have already happened, like being able to fit in regular clothes instead of plus size, cross my legs, not worrying about over eating etc.

Being satisfied with rate I am losing weight, I am currently looking forward to being able to drink liberally and not have to sip sip sip. I have started real cardio still for fear of getting dehydrated. I am peeing less than I use to before surgery.

I am looking forward to learning how to Scuba dive and to learning how to fly. Not only do I want to fit in the seat, but I want to fit into the cockpit. Most important though is to be able to do any activity with my 2 year old daughter that she wants to do.

      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
