I happened to catch my reflection this morning and I had a thought “holy crap I’m stylish and don’t look fat and lumpy”. Serious double take. Considering I’ve been feeling crappy post gallbladder removal (wohoo 2 weeks since that fun) it was a welcome feeling. I’m wearing a shirt I got from stitch fix that is pushing my comfort zone but it’s growing on me.

(I’m not a “fat” is a bad word person. Even at my heaviest I knew I was beautiful and accepted this is where I am and it is what it is).

After my sleep study on Tuesday night, I was hoping to announce a NSV of being rid of my CPAP, but...not quite. My OSA is down to “mild” from “severe,” though, and without a CPAP, I’m down to 13 arousals an hour from 117 when I first had a sleep study in 2011 (and was 110 pounds heavier).

So here’s another NSV: Yesterday I accidentally threw our garage door opener in a Dumpster, and without thinking about it, I boosted myself onto the lip of the Dumpster and leaned in to retrieve it.

Congrats! That's outstanding!

I parked in a tight parking space and was still able to squeeze out of my door, without touching the car next to me. In the past I would not have been able to get out of my car.


I know this one too well

Hiked up two (2) mountains this summer. 12,998' and 14,202'. Tried the first one three years ago and almost passed out within the first 20 mins.

That's your body dysmorphia talking! :)

Your measurements are smaller than mine, and 8-10 in dresses is what I'm wearing

I bought a BIKINI!!! :o

I tried it on, didn't hate, and might even wear it out in public! :o :o :o

Even as a teenager and in my 20's when I was 20 lbs lighter than I am now I didn't wear a bikini. Of course this bikini is as high waisted as hell, but I'm not going to show my ugly tummy! :P

      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.
