Well, I eat lots of Protein, and I try to keep carbs at 20 grams a day or less. This means no bread, no Pasta no a lot of stuff. You have to read labels. i had no idea how many carbs are in food that are even good for you. The low carb thing makes a huge difference although many can't stick to it. Also I try to get cardio exersize in 5 days a week.

Those clothes would look ridiculous with the shirt tucked in. I wore those in the new photo to show how big they are.

And how small you are becoming. I dream,of someday holding up a pair of my size 26 levis next to a smaller,body. it's going to happen in a year, maybe 18 months. Since I'm so flippin' old,i may not lose as quick as the 20-30 young bricks and dudes, but as Larry the Cable Gut says I'll get er done!!!!! 😝🚩

      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.
