Best Decision I’ve Made with My Health!



Recommended Posts

I know I’ve already updated on my progress, but today was a substantial day for me. I’ve been the same number, and same pant size for a while. Stalls don’t bother me. However for some reason I looked in the mirror today and just felt different. It was a “wow, you look like a completely different person!” moment.

For those of you waiting for, or suffering through the first few weeks... it DOES get better.one day you will wake up, and suddenly realize you have a whole new life waiting for you. It’s a wonderful feeling!

Below are 2 old pics from the past year, as well as two pictures from today! (Ignore my husband in the last, he isn’t a fan of my new found comfort with pictures LOL)

Happy weekend everyone, I wish you all great happiness 😊

Oh, man! Your face has changed so much! That's awesome!

Thanks! I feel like I've lost most of my weight there LOL! In fact, the first few weeks were so weird because it came from there first so I had this tiny head and big ol body. Thankfully the rest of me is starting to slim up a bit to match :)

I’m going through the process for vsg & I don’t have a surgery date yet. Sometimes I doubt myself for wanting the surgery or I start having negative thoughts. Your post is very positive & inspiring! Thank you for sharing your pictures & your success & positive outlook!

      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.
