I can cross my legs!



Recommended Posts

I know to skinny women everywhere, this is no big deal, but to me? I'm shouting to the rooftop. Anyone that is bottom heavy like me knows the struggle. A month ago I could finally cross them but it wasn't a comfortable position since I had to force them to stay crossed. Today, I crossed them and sat comfortably for an hour! Eeekkk! Also, to all those bottom heavy girls, you know this is a big accomplishment

Regarding my stats, my weight loss is kind of slow but it's steady so that is ok by me. However, if only I could lose weight as fast as I'm losing my hair I'd be even more happy!!!

You and I are losing at about the same rate with about the same time period (my surgery was a few days earlier than yours). My surgeon's assistant said they don't want me losing more than 10 lbs a month and that's about where I am. Congrats on the leg crossing!

I just this past week started noticing an awful lot of hair in my brush, and on my sweater and in the drain and, oh, i just ran my hand through my hair and a nice clump came out. I'm trying not to freak; I go to the surgeon on Thursday for a four-month follow up and I'll share any intel I get.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
