Hello Fall! Does anyone have any goals, NSV's especially for fall?



Recommended Posts

@ Stay strong!!! I know it's not easy, but the pay off is worth it!! I did a month of Clear Liquids all together. Before surgery was much harder than the two weeks after but I survived and so will you!

I'm rebuying the Hunter rain boots my husband bought me for Christmas. I had to return them because they didn't fit around my stupid calves!

These are great - My surgery is now 17 months past, and I've plateaued the past 5 months, sadly. I did maintain though, and now am beginning to lose again (yes!) so my fall NSV is having the pleasure of donating sweaters that are too big, even though I thought they would still fit. Guess I'm smaller than I thought - hooray :D

My other NSV is the pleasure of being back on track - such a good feeling!

Fall NSV's

(1) Hunting for a great Halloween costume to wear to a dinner party.

(2) My Second Turkey Day 5K since surgery. This has become my new thanksgiving holiday tradition.

(3)My first fall at this size. Its my excuse to get a new fall/winter wardrobe.

I was looking forward to going to football games, wearing smaller team jackets, but dang it I'm getting really judgmental about sitting next to fat people. NOTE: Just because I lost 90 pounds doesn't mean you get to ooze into my space. I need to bring some WLS info for the people on my season ticket row. They seem to average 350 pounds each...and that's just the women and the guys are worse.

Like inner surfer girl, it won't be this year. I'm two months post op next week.

I am training to run my first 5k November 21st. During this process, I hope to fit into old clothes in my closet, and donate the rest.

I have already felt more energetic than ever and have been looking to do fun things with my husband and 3 year old. This weekend we are going pumpkin picking and lots of fun things at the farm for him and his friends. I used to not want to participate in things because I was embarrassed by my size, my inability to keep up and I used to eat enough to be in food coma.

Bring on fall and really excited by next years prospects. Once I reach goal, I want to visit a southern state and get me a pair of cowboy boots!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
