I can't believe how much my body has changed in just 22 month's!!!!!

I just can't believe it. It has been a tough road. But I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!!!

I am still having a problem with food but I am working on that.

With the great support I get from this group and my husband, my children and my therapist. I will over come this eating disorder too.

I finally see the skinny me.

I just found her about 2 weeks ago.

I even had a Tummy Tuck on 3\20\15. I am recovering from that now. My new belly looks amazing!

I am finally doing the happy dance, lol.

I need to get some muscle back.

I just got the OK to start to slowly work out again, can't wait.

Hold on...... Is this ME saying this, lol.

I am still looking for a buddy if anyone out their wants one too.

I am starting to LOVE life again.

Thank you EVERYONE for ALL your support.

This is a great website! :) :). ????????????

Congratulations! What an accomplishment. It is incredibly exciting. Your positivity is uplifting. Can you answer from having your wls to having a Tummy Tuck how is the pain scale? Im still extremely early on recovery fr the bypass, but I am so curious as to the whole tummy tuck process ... at this moment, i never want to do another surgery, but my husband keeps telling me to think positively and tells me when im ready to consider the tuck, that I wont even remember thr bypass. .. can you add me as a friend? I don't know how to do so from my phone...

Hi, so nice to meet you! If you to my email. Kimerick2008 @gmail.com I will give you my phone number. I would love to talk with you.

I just figured out how to add you as a friend, lol

As far as the pain. It was no way near as painful as the GB. My doctor gave me plenty of pain meds.

I would say after about a week I was just sore. The part that hurt the most was the drains. As soon as I t them out 2 1\2 weeks later, I felt great.

Now ever now and then I get some pain,but I am great!!

I look forward to hearing from you. I am heading to bed now.

Talk to you soon,

Kim

Congratulations! It is so difficult sometimes when we lose weight and sometimes get that validation we are doing a good job from others yet cannot see it ourselves. Human beings have been predisposed to being visual creatures yet there is so much mentally that needs healing as well. I am happy to hear about the bra and the store it can come from. I had very big breast and can now go to a department store to get a bra. Prior to that it was just off the internet. I would love to take you up on that buddy offer if it still goes.

      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.
