I can't believe I've lost a total of 39 inches in 4 months and I started measuring after I lost 20lbs!

Congrats! Those are awesome numbers!! It's likely you've lost at least 43". I just measured myself this weekend to see where I'm at (I haven't even seen my doctor yet about a referral). I cried. I've never been this big. Or maybe I was but I never had a reason to measure myself. I expected I had a 42" waist. My waist is 50"! 50! I couldn't believe it. I didn't think about measuring my calves of chest though. And I also measured my neck lol.

I probably had a 50 inch waist before I actually started measuring! But it's okay. What seemed so far away prepping for 7 months before surgery numerous doctors appointments, losing my old job because if it was all worth it for me! I have never felt better!

Feeling better makes it all worth it! I am being patient. I know I have a long way up hill right now. I'm surprisingly patient. lol. I'm trying to convince my sister to do this with me but I think she doesn't think she will lose much. I hope she changes her mind. It would be nice to have someone close to go thru this with.

That's what this site is great for! Patience is key! I wanted to give up a few times, I felt like I had so many medical clearance requirements and having a full time job, 3 kids 5 and under seemed impossible but I pushed through it. I finally did something for myself and you can do it! Don't get discouraged by the numbers!

One of the main reasons I had the surgery was when my 5 year old daughter asked me innocently why Her and her sisters and my husband's bodies were "straight" and mine was "bumpy". That was my confirmation that I needed to commit to this surgery.

@@FayBee kids are so blatant in such an innocent way, but I think sometimes we need it. I have 1 six year old and my other kids range from 21-12. I wish I would have had the surgery sooner so that they grew up seeing me active instead of a couch potato lol. But everything happens for a reason. I wasn't as savvy about health back then and I probably would have sabotaged myself.

        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
