My story is beginning: From Large2nCharge (aka Return of the Amazon)



Recommended Posts

I have been dragging my feet on posting an introduction, so I apologize!

My name is CC and I'm 38 female in Central Texas.

I have committed to VSG surgery for December 15, 2016.

I have always been bigger but not always overweight. I allowed people to tell me I was "too big" and I didn't protect my self esteem.

I became complacent and lazy, and failed to address issues that led to being greatly overweight as I got older.

The truth is I will always be big, but I desire to no longer be morbidly obese. I vow to never be over 400 lbs again, and I know there are others betting the challenge of higher #s in being overweight.

Let me share some basic stats:

Highest recorded weight:427 lbs

Weight at 1st VSG consultation appmt: 412 lbs

Current weight (as of 11/29/16) 388 lbs

Height 6'4" (not an error, I am a very tall woman).

My goal weight is 225 lbs.

My surgery date is December 15th, 2016 for VSG.

I know that I have a unique figure / stature, but I welcome connecting and sharing this special part of my journey with kindred spirits, no matter what your personal stats or background might be.

Awesome this is what I've been searching for in my research, some one with my body type. (Everything's bigger in tx I guess lol -Houston here) I'm 33 and 6'3 current weight around 360lbs. I don't have a date yet because I'm relying on my tax refund to come in and I will go to Tijuana for the surgery (there's a dr across from Eagle Pass tx that is awesome but just out of my price range) I would love to follow your journey seeing I will be about 2 months behind you!

6'4" wow! That is pretty awesome! I have an employee who is 6'10" and is about as big around as a pencil. Being a short guy it always blows me away to see someone tall.

Large2NCharge Im on the opposite end of your height spectrum. Im 4'11" and 218. I had my sleeve on Dec 5 and hoping to reach my goal of 128by the end of 18 months. My doctor says 150 but thats not good enough in my opinion so Im reaching higher than he is. Good luck with your journey and Ill be watching for your posts.

        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.

      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
