Ok, I haven't posted in a while. I went to a wedding yesterday and though I could take some cute ones instead of being in my workout clothes. I still cant believe the difference in my face. I had some family from Seattle and even here in Sacramento who didnt even recognize me! LOL

Ok, this one is SO ugly - but as it is... It was just before surgery:

I need to take a more current full length picture but i thought I would see if i could get these to post this time. I am very happy that i had my surgery a year ago. I am struggling at this time getting a right fill amount, but I know I will and it will all work again. I have went from a size 30 jeans ... down to a size 18/20. That feels AMAZING!!!!!!

Here is my before/during/*almost after*. I'd still like to lose another 5-10 lbs., but I'm already 5lbs below my original *impossible* goal.

I'm still losing 2-3lbs a month. I'm afraid of reaching the point where the lbs come my off face and boobs instead of my butt--that'll be the stopping point for me!

I'm wearing size SIX Levi's and a women's medium top. I haven't been this small since the mid 90's.

Still happy, still healthy (blood sugar is NORMAL), no more aches/pains/reflux. Still the best thing I've ever done.

Here I am, down 30lbs! Not too much of a change, but at least I have a neck now! LOL

Still working on the chin, but I'll get there... Just had my 1st fill yesterday... WooHoo...

      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.
