150 days 55 down Happy Birthday to me!



Recommended Posts

WOW! So tomorrow is my Birthday. I don't think I have ever really been this excited for it. So much so that I'm having a Valentine's Couple's Date night at my house. Found some awesome outfits that I don't know which to wear. One that has been in my closet for about 20 years yes I said 20. That's how much I love it and could never get rid of it or ever fit me till now. What a journey the last 5 months have been. If it was not for an old friend that I lost touch with had not posted a picture of herself I would have never had known about this WLS. I have been going to many doctor's for years with no outcome. I fired the last one when I mentioned this and told me it will not work. But had no problem keeping me on the road to becoming a diabetic. It is hard work not for the weak at heart. Always keep think of where you want to be at the finish line. I have bad days and fall off the wagon but start again the next day to be better. You start to notice the little things you did when you where younger that you have not done in years. I'm starting to like to exercise..(a little) maybe because it does not hurt as much or not as embarrassed to be seen to be that fat. I'm still working a been more committed to it. Because the weight lost is slowing down the closer I get to my goal. I started as a size 20, now I'm looking at 12-14. There so much to choose from now in only 5 months. Happy Valentine's Day to all!! Big Hug and Kisses! Happy Birthday to myself the best gift I have ever giving to me.

      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. 🤞
