Ok guys, Thursday was my one year anniversary, but Sundays are my weigh & picture day, so postponed any updates until today. I'm now officially an 18/20 top and 22 bottom. That's down from a 34+ top & bottom pre-op, and a total loss in my first year of 130 lbs.

Here are my progress pics. Note: NO, I don't wear camis alone, only under things but it's one of the only things I could find that's "clingy" and would show my current shape.

i cannot believe it has already been 5 months... picture time!

weight loss has REALLY slowed ... REALLY REALLY slowed, but i know i am gaining muscle... in fact, if i compare 4 month and 5 month pics my shoulders and chest area look bigger in the 5 month pics, but the shirt hangs lower ... go figure...

i am down just about 80, pretty much the same as last month (less than 4 pounds lost last month :girl_hug: )

You all look wonderful!!! I can't wait to see if my insurance company will approve me...I just turned 41 today and I'd LOVE to lose about 130 pounds!!! I've been eating healthier and just started walking so I've lost 12 1/2 lbs since January 11th, but it's SOOOO hard when I can eat whatever I want lol...

Good job everyone!!!

Here's my starting photo - about 265 lbs here (I'm in the pink sweater, right hand side...this was Thanksgiving 2006 with my kids, mom and daughters boyfriend)

      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.
