Talofa from Washington Wow you look awesome [emoji1433] I am actually going to have my last dietitian visit January 24th. It’s starting to become real for me. I am starting to get nervous and a little scared but can’t to see where this journey takes me. Seeing your progress makes so happy to see what’s to come.

Talofa Celia! It is scary for sure, I felt the same way right up until I was being pushed into the operating room. Find peace and remind yourself of all the wondeful reasons you need this. Whether it is your health, for your kids, or whatever, always keep those reasons in your thoughts. As soon as they give you anesthesia, you literally knock out and wake up to wondering how quickly it went by! Just like that, you are ready for the next phase of recovery and on the road to the new you! It will be hard at times but you will constantly learn more about yourself, what you are capable of, and take pride in the new you that is emerging. Your confidence will skyrocket and you will feel giddy every time you step on that scale and you have dropped some pounds! I can go on and on but keeping it short, you are almost there girl! Manuia lau ta'otoga ma ia fa'atasi le Atua ma oe! Final advice, get a fitbit or some kind of tracker and if no other exercise...walk, walk, walk!

Thank you so much for the encouraging words it’s nice to see another polys progress. It gives me more motivation I really appreciate it. I do have a Fitbit and I am trying to get more walking in before surgery. I look forward to one day sending out a wonderful update like yours.

      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
