Great pics, you look fantastic, and thanks for sharing! I've noticed lately that when I see before/after pics on here, I'm totally getting why people I know are not only commenting about my weight loss, but several are telling me I look younger (which at 46 is very nice to hear ????), because I too see that in the pics posted on here. Heck, who needs a fountain of youth, when you can get healthier, look better and younger, and feel great. Lovin' in!

Again thanks @@JHDR thanks hun I'm glad that I can offer some encouragement for those considering WLS or just getting started.

@@SharBear617 thanks girrrrl yes i definitely feel younger and in these pics I DO look younger!

@@My4Brownies hang in there take your time. Stick with what works i think even when i could have purees I still stuck to my shakes, yogurt, cheese, and Soups. Keeping up with the Protein count is hard enough. Lol

@@gustavio yes i have to agree. I never thought I'd say that either! Initially I wanted to be like a 2!. It's about feeling good in your own skin not numbers on the scale. I think about what weight could I get to, gain 10 lbs (although it's not happening) and still look great.

@@HARTMOM

Thanks babe I am ready to slay! Lol

      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.
