Y’all idk.. I’m so connected to this fat suit I don’t know if I’m ready to give it up. What flips when they finally give you a date?!? I was SO READY and excited doing all of my pre-op testing/appts then bam, got that call today and I’m freaking out!

It's all very normal and very much a part of your journey! I can remember experiencing some similar emotions. That much said, I am glad that I went through with it. Post-op has been easy for me from a physical standpoint but not from an emotional one. Today it all came to a head and the good cry was relieving. Please go through with this. Do it out of love for yourself, do it for us. We're all alongside of you. Being obese is no way to live: it is a sad, slow decline leading to an inevitable and morbid conclusion. You are worth it!

I kinda felt the same way today! Who will I be in a couple of months after surgery? Will I regret this? Being fat is all I've ever known.

But everyone is right! You're worth it! & so am I [emoji1]

I got my surgery date on Monday , I was excited but now I am nervous too. Thinking about the sacrifices I'll have to make and changes but I have to keep telling myself about the big picture . The big picture of a healthier life. With sacrifices comes huge gain of getting our lives back. I lost a good amount of weight already prior to this surgery and can tie my shoes without getting out of breath , I can walk a bit more now, fit into clothes better , I snore less. Those are just a few things we don't even realize sometimes that are effecting us and our way of living. So counter those negative thoughts with all the positive possibilities. I am looking forward to hopefully going sky diving, fitting in a seat for roller coasters , being able to walk at the amusement park, buying clothes that cost less because of sizing (you know plus size clothes can get expensive fast lol ). Remember you're beautiful already and worth change that can better your life . It's going to be a struggle and that's the scary part but we'll make it through ! Congratulations on getting your surgery date . Mine is April 19. We got this girl!

Trinjen---- yes it is your fat suit but it is old, wrinkled and tired. Why not opt for something sleeker, trimmer,prettier in color, that looks GOOD on you? No long will you be baggy, saggy and draggy. You'll look fit, feel fit and be fit. Whoeee! It will be so worth it. Looking forward to my own retailoring, my spring cleaning plans have that on my list. New pastel clothes instead looking and being the shape of a charcoal briquet in a dark wardrobe. No more frust8tion--- I'm going to be SO FINE!

      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.

      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.
