Good point lots of us girls have bat wings.... its a crazy amazing emotional ride for sure I am so close to goal... and wonder if I am gonna keep losing I feel tiny... and am having some issues with not seeing myself as I am like today I pulled out a pair of 16 shorts my daughter in law had given me and I'm like no way they gonna fit.... yup the did and were too big LOL I needed a belt..I need to figure out how to get my actual size through my head I was fat for 23 yrs... God I wish I had done it sooner..I am open with it and bring my scale when we go out to eat and ask for my iced tea to go cos I can't eat and drink together... though I hear eventually I might be able to I was told not to so still following the rules.. .it's been a lil rough since I moved out of state in March and left my bari doc and I adored her so that part sucks a lot... Gotta find a nut here in this tiny lil town... Got my doc keeping an eye on my levels but ready to start learning how to maintain and need help for that...

I haven't had wls yet but I meet with the surgeon at the end of this month. I'm looking forward to all the awkward comments and experiences that come my way! Honestly, I'll just be happy when random people or people who I used to know when I was thinner stop asking me if I'm pregnant or when I'm due. I'm not pregnant. Just fat!

An old cheerleading teammate from high school saw me at Home Depot a couple of months ago and he was like "Wow, you are super pregnant!" And my response was "No, I'm not" to which he felt bad and said "oh, well you look great" LOL nice try, bro b

I had my surgery done August 4th. The day after my surgery, I was doing looking for a pair of shorts to put on. My hospital gown was awkward and sometimes it wouldn't cover my backside all the way. Well, I wasn't wearing pants or underwear while I was trying to find my shorts. I was turned around with my butt flashing, right as my male surgeon walked into the room. I was so embarrassed! But he didn't act shocked or anything. I guess he's used to seeing butts? Haha!

      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
