That's what I thought too! thanks but I was sweating bullets trying to remember if I backed up things to the cloud and figure out which memories to erase... Existential Crisis time

#24 : #Throwback Thursday...

We gonna go back...waaaaaaay back. This is me in my 20's. Oh to be young and able to eat whatever and not worry about weight gain! Flash forward 25-ish years and i've more than doubled in size. I doubt I will ever be this small again, but I'll try to come close :)

Day 24- #throwbackthursday

I had lost 70 pounds on my own before I got sick. I was doing mud runs, snowboarding, scuba diving, and learning to rock climb. I throw back to these days because they are my motivation! I WILL go back to enjoying life. I will climb again. I will dive again. I'm on the right side of this recovery and an adventurous future to strive for20190124_062411-COLLAGE.jpeg

#ThrowbackThursday this is me in Yemen in 2002. I didn't know it at the time but I was pregnant (ended up having a miscarriage but then went on to have my beautiful girly). I went to study Arabic and I found the most generous, kind friendly people. My heart breaks with the current Western-backed Saudi demolition of that beautiful country. One day I will return in sha' Allah.

Returning one day is a great goal! I'm so glad you had that opportunity to go and be there. And I'm so glad you have your rainbow baby now! Congratulations

Throwback Thursday to my honeymoon, a time when I felt really beautiful and almost exactly 1 year ago at my highest weight. The first now feels almost attainable, the second is in my past where it will stay!

My favorite way to keep warm: winter camping! Campfires, hiking, wine...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
