I'm just starting this journey, saw your bike pics and it caught my eye. I ride a street glide, my fat little legs make it hard to flat foot it...you look awesome and I'm very encouraged at your before and after pics. Congrats! I go for my initial appointment on the 21st. Sure hope I qualify with my insurance co. Ride free sister! :-)

How soon were you able to ride? We have a trip planned, would be three days, about 400-450 miles.

It was a couple of months before I rode anywhere very far. About 5 weeks out just riding close by. Just don't strain yourself pulling your bike up or getting in a bind.

Hi Junebug1971 and CONGRATULATIONS on your huge success! You look AWESOME!

I am considering the surgery, so I have been reading a lot of posts here and you are one of the many people on this app, who said, that the surgery was the best decision you have ever made. I understand the weight loss as the result at the end, but what else has changed after the surgery, that you think is a good thing ( i.e. less appetite, change of the food preference or easier than before loozing the weight) ? Thank you!

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this. I think it is all a mindset from the beginning. You have to know what you can and cannot do. You have to be willing to get up and move. You have to go thru the phase of watching others eat what you cannot have. But eventually it all smooths out. The amount of food I can or even want to eat is a good thing. I'm in the habit of knowing what works and what doesn't. I'm so happy with my decision. I believe you will be too, you just have to have your head right.

        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
