Recommended Posts

Im so excited that you chose to share these photos. I could be you almost. Very similar anyway. I just recently took a bunch of before pictures as i am still in the early stages of my journey but after i took the pictures i was looking at them and I couldn't imagine showing anyone else. It takes bravery! Also, I've been looking at before and after photos of so many ppl , just trying to find someone who's body looks similar to mine so i can envision more of what i will look like after and i am very excited to see yours. Thanks for sharing!!! You look great!!

Wow! You give me such hope! I get my surgery on Thursday and have been getting more nervous. Of course I'm nervous about the surgery itself and the whole getting used to my new living, but I also have been really nervous about the skin! You look great! Any tips/strategies you can give?

@@RDHender I totally know what you mean about the skin. I guess I should start trying to adapt more to the, "one day at a time", I have seen many vids on youtube and the belly is the worse. Let's think about how great we will feel though! Our feet will thank us, our knees for sure :D Oh, and those fabulous clothes you will be wearing too. I know what a dif it was from 332 lb to 248 lb....I feel the 20 I gained back over the past few months. So ready to get back down, and keep going down. I can't believe the dif those currently 17lb back up feel. Looking forward to this journey. FIVE WEEKS from today is the big day.

I've lost a total of 120 pounds, but I feel like I can eat way more than I used to. I had my surgery in May 2013, and kept the weight off, but now I notice that I can definitely eat more and drink more than before.

Starting weight was 356

Current weight 176.3

On the 25th of October it will be 16 months since surgery for me!

I think my skin heeling quickly has a lot to do with my age, (19)

Seeing people that I knew from high school that don't recognize me at all is my most favorite thing lol

        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
