You look wonderful. Keep going girl. I'm seven months out too and so happy. Isn't WLS surgery just the most amazing thing. I'm loving my journey and hope that anyone who is wondering whether or not to undergo surgery just goes for it. It's the best thing that I have ever done. My fitness levels have just soared, as has my self esteem. I'm having a ball wearing clothes that are fun instead of functional and am determined to grow old disgracefully. post-266130-14632964679226_thumb.jpg post-266130-14632964859882_thumb.jpg

You look amazing. I'm getting my surgery in July and I'm really scared. I'm afraid that I may have complications with nausea and dumping syndrome and something called the "foamies". Can you tell me a little about your experience to get where you are. I can't wait to look like that!! Thanks

First of all don't think negative!!!! You got this and you're going to do wonderful. I'm so glad I did, and the joy of reviewing tons of compliments, fitting old clothes, buying new ones, and knowing you're improving your health all at the same time is everything!! Best advice I can give you is take it one day at a time, eat your Protein, drink your Water, and try not to fall into temptation. I didn't have any issues just eat slowly you're body will let you know if your choice of food is for you. Everyone is different therefore my journey will be different from yours and others.

      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.
