Figured I'd give myself a little bit of an update.

NSV: pair of shorts are falling off of me!

As I go ahead moving on this journey, I do not know if I want my goal weight to be 150. I will see how my body goes and find a weight that I will be comfortable with.

Going back to work is really hard, I've been having intense stomach pains that only happen there. It might be from the anxiety I feel about my job in general.

I had no coverage and paid out of pocket; therefore I didn't have to jump through hoops and do ANOTHER pre-surgery diet. I'm down roughly 20 pounds since surgery 6/8. I had my first comment from an acquaintance that I looked thinner ????. Are you eating purée? Regular foods? I am looking for a new Vitamin too.

That's absolutely wonderful! I am eating puree at the moment and I absolutely hate it! The texture is so off putting. Tuesday will be my last puree day.

It's been awhile since I did an update! I had a stall for about 3 weeks that had me freaked out. Things have been going well, work is still keeping me permanently exhausted.

Getting ready to go to a wedding in October and it's nerve wracking because I need to find a nice dress since I'm a bridesmaid.

I've lost a total of 60 pounds and I'm super proud. I'm starting to be able to fit into clothes I had a few years ago and cleaning out my closet. I'm also able to put on some rings that did not fit for the longest time.

Some other things I've noticed is I feel more comfortable laying down than I have in a long time. A lot of people I work with say I look great.

Oh man! I've been super neglecting of this place here! Since the start of October I've been on forced over time for work requiring between 10-15 more hours per week. Due to this it's been very stressful and I end up working 12 hour shifts.

Still weight is going in the right direction and I am proud!

I am .3 pound away from losing a total of 80 pounds which is excellent!

Good luck everyone :)

        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
