Tia- Yuck at feeling poorly. I know by the time you read this you'll be better.

Jmc- You go! Getting a trainer is a great step forward!

Just to brag on myself for a minute, I'm wearing a XL! Do you see that?! There is only ONE X in front of the L!!!!!!!!!!

That's something else!

J

NOW THAT IS A NSV!!!! YAY for you!!!!!!

I actually bought a dress last weekend that was XL but it was a little to tight around by belly - just not very sexy looking. LOL

I decided to keep it anyway since I love it so much!!!

BTW that's my new thing, I will not buy or "settle" for anything just because I can get into it. It has to make me look damn good!!!!

My stomach and rear are actually sore from a new exercise I've discovered. I was doing work travel for a total of 10 hours Thurs and Fri, and was SO tired of sitting on my a**. I was enjoying some funky music and started car seat dancing. It was great! I just channeled my inner exotic/belly dancer and moved around for much of the trip. Might have looked a little weird to people passing, but....oh well.

I don't know what music you all like, but has anyone listened closely to the words of Linkin Park's song "What I've Done"? This song is so inspiring to me right now. It's all about forgiving yourself......"so let mercy come and wash away.......what I've done......I face myself.......to cross out what I've become.......erase myself.....and let go of what I've done." For 18 years I've felt so much guilt and pain for gaining weight and failing at weight loss, but I feel that pain lifting as I erase those lbs away......letting go....forgiving myself.....it's truly an amazing feeling!

      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.

      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.
