I had my bypass surgery 4/18/16

SW 318

Surgery Weight 308

CW 246

These were my favorite pair of jeans... Not anymore!!!! I have always struggled with my weight all my life.

Im high school my lowest weight was 250

Im now past the hurdle!!!! Cant even begin to say how existing it is to be lower then 250.

Im going on a family vacation in a week and i am for sure going on all the slides and rides with my 3 yr old!!! That moment when you can buckle the airplane seatbelt and not worry about it cutting off your circulation or being embarrassed to ask for an extender, don't need one now! post-288475-14713129941349_thumb.jpg

Thank you all! Its hard when ur not sure what the shape of your body is am i am apple, am i a pear, where did my boobs go...? I asked my husband if he sees a difference in my body and he said " i see u everyday, i dont see a difference" it made me mad at first, i lost 72 lb in the last year and u cant see the difference..... But then i didn't care! Because I see the deference, i feel the difference, i can go to Victoria secret and buy their sport pants and bras and it feels soooooo amazing!!!! When people come up to u and tell u that u are looking good. I was always scared of my body, never posted pics of me in a bra lol but it feels sooo safe in this group, to be around people that understand and that are going through the same thing.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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
