You know what I'm excited for?



Recommended Posts

I'm just starting this process but there are SO MANY things I am so excited to be able to and feel once I've accomplished my surgery and weight loss.

I'm excited to cross my legs again. I'm excited to stand for long periods of time without my feet feeling like they're going to EXPLODE. (I'm an RN at a busy dialysis center.) I'm excited to goto the amusement parks and not worry about fitting into ANY ride. I'm excited to just feel pretty again. I'm excited to have energy for my two little boys and not just plop down on the couch after 16 hours of work. I'm excited to not feel self conscious. I'm excited to see the looks on people's faces I haven't seen in a long time once I've transformed. I'm excited to go shopping. I'm excited to buy jeans and not live in black sweat pants. I'm excited to take my first ride on a plane. (Totally have been avoiding this) I'm excited to take selfies.. (let's face it.... You know you want to.) I'm excited to actually want to be in a family picture. I'm excited for energy.

I'm just thankful I've decided to go through this process though people tell me it's the way way out. (What're they thinking anyhow!?)

Hooray for upcoming excitement :)

I sat down and made a list A- Z of why I wanted to do this. I showed by psych, my NUT, and my program RN. They all thought it was great and may suggest it to others. It's got a lot of non-health goals mixed in, like zip lining and cute clothes along with the he obvious health ones.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
