Feeling better (less aches and pains), more energy, more social (stop obsessing about if I'll fit into the booth when we go out to eat, or if I'm going to pull a Shallow Hal and break a stool or chair, how I need to sit in aisle seat at a concert and attempt to make myself smaller so I don't annoy the people around me,) being able to have a picture taken of me that doesn't make me cringe or cry and pray no one sees it!, having a shirt for more than a day before I spill something down the front of me, going to my PCP and getting a clean bill of health instead of another referral to a specialist because something else is wrong with me, a better sex life, more energy, wearing a worn out pair of levis in regular size and looking damn good, etc, etc.

I just pray I'll get there...

1. Planning my next family vacation without worrying about if I'll fit on the plane/rides.

2. Not being the fattest mom at all school events.

3. Shopping in normal stores, not having to hunt for the single rack of ill-made plus sized jeans and shirts.

4. Being comfortable in my own skin.

5. Getting off my hypertension meds.

6. Fingers crossed my snoring improves!! ( I know this doesn't happen for everyone but in the past when I was down to 225 I all but stopped so I'm hopeful!)

Thought of another one.

We live in a lake town so we spend a lot of the Summer at the Water. We bought kayaks last year, so each of the 4 of us (my husband, kids, and myself) have our own boats. I was SO not graceful getting in and out of that thing! I almost tipped it several times because I didn't have the strength to get my big body out of it correctly. I'm looking forward to being able to go out with my family and not panic that I'm going to get stuck and make a fool of myself. Also - the size of my life jacket is ridiculous. I'd like a "normal" sized one! Being comfortable in a swimsuit is going to be amazing, as well.

Next Summer should be a lot more fun for me :)

      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.
