My Weight Loss Coming Out Party (aka: my law school graduation party)

I'm so incredibly excited for this Sunday! I just graduated law school last week and have my graduation party this Sunday.

Only two of my friends have seen me since I had the surgery (and they're the same 2/4 who know I had the surgery), but they saw me at the beginning of April when I'd lost only 30 pounds. I've lost another 30 since then!

None of my other friends and non-immediate family have seen me. I was a size 18/20 in August. I'm now a size 10 across the board.

Not to mention a former co-worker I've had a MASSIVE crush on for the last two years is going to see me SIXTY POUNDS lighter than the last time we grabbed drinks.

I've been making short term goals to keep motivated. I wanted to be in the 170s when I went to this convention in Philly (and did it!) and then wanted to break 169.9 for my graduation party. I'm at 170.2 today.

I know this post doesn't have much point to it, but I just had to Celebrate this with my sleever family. :)

Absolutely wonderful I applaud your great accomplishments both academic and personal.

After i got my paralegal degree, all my professors went nuts when i told them i wasn't going on to law school. Sorry but a 44 year old law student sound a bit..wasteful. and I really couldn't afford more student loans. lol I'm extremely happy to see you do well and make your goals a reality.

Very Well done indeed!!

:D :D :D

      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.
