Excited to love myself again!



Recommended Posts

It's finally almost here! Surgery date is 2 weeks away on the 19th!! I am so nervous and excited at the same time!! All I have to do is go to my Preop and make sure i didn't gain any weight, my last test before the surgery!!! I cannot wait to feel good about myself again and have a whole new beginning!!! And just know how it feels to be comfortable in clothes for the first time ever!!!

about to start your new life :)

wonderful feeling :)

i'm sure, you know that you have a lot of hard work to do to lose weight

now you have been successful and at goal

life is good you are happy

no more work to do

NOT :huh:

actualllllly - life begins at maintenance :)

you have learned a new lifestyle

you need to follow all the many "rules" you've learned

for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life :)

but............that 's ok

what a terrific life is in front of you :)

we've all lost the weight before, and before, and before and be....... ;)

then we've always ended up gaining, and gaining and gaining and gai............ :angry:

you will keep the weight off - as long as you........

continue the good habits you've learned while you were losing weight

you work with the sleeve/and the sleeve will work for you :)

you'll experience terrific new "firsts" :)

feeling healthier

getting rid of or improvement of certain co-morbidities (msp)

losing (decreasing meds)

walking better

able to be more and more active

ability to sit on a regular public toilet :)

leaving the handi-capped toilet for someone that really needs it

getting in and out of the car easier than before

trying on a new pair of pants - realizing they are too big

clothing sizes going down south

wrapping a bath towel around yourself after your shower :huh:

being unrecognizable by people since you've lost weight

those are just a few of the many, many new experiences you'll have

good luck with surgery in a couple of weeks

happy for YOU, that YOU are happy and excited

two weeks will be here before you know it

anticipation is fun too :)

      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.
