What happened is the past:
I can't change yesterday and this I accept.
I am perfectly okay the way I am: this is acceptable and I have the power to change my tomorrows. Strength for the future lies within ME.

Oh boy, J San, found myself doing this just yesterday. I want to be just as good as people much farther down the road. Maybe I seek perfection in a imperfect🌏 world!

I swear I thought I was a patient man until I had this surgery and wanted things to move much faster. I've gotten it "somewhat" under control but at times it's like waiting for Christmas morning in the middle of July.

Today is like Dolly Parton's hard candy Christmas for me, not even Christmas in July. Its a month today, well it was at 7AM, and I am having a Why Me day! Ellie 123 says, and rightly , I should call into my Bariatric hospital , let them know I was vomiti,g until 3AM, even the butternut squash Soup from early evening was coming up, as well as popsicles. This is not what I booked for, I swear I booked from the "smaller appetite and weight loss" pamphlet. 😟😪😷. Oh I have lost, 22 pounds since surgery, reminds me of a Bible section. Can't help it, I live in 5he northern outskirts of the Bible Belt. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his immortal soul?
My insurance paid my 💰 money, but today what did I gain?

Hang in there. Your body will adjust to it's new configuration and all will be good again (BETTER than good).

      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.
