This is my favorite sweater, I’ve had it for years and it’s a bit big now but I don’t mind. Unlike most people here I am always hot (temperature wise) so I can’t handle thick sweaters.

1. My goal is to get into onederland….(no joy this morning) and then beyond. Mostly, I'm loving how fit I feel and I want to keep that going. Oh yes, working on lowering that BMI. Continue my yoga teacher training and gym.

2. Sleeve on 12/12/18. Still losing...slowly but surely. Current weight is 200.2 and BMI of 37.

3. Anywhere abs.

4. Right now, I don't know what sweater fits me so not sure of my favorite. I haven't gotten them out of summer storage yet. Will have to update this one later.

Okay so I’m in!

Personal goal: hit GW this month. I’m less than 5 pounds away.
Surgery type: VGS on 2-6-19
Weight as of last Friday was 158.8. BMI 24.9 (finally NORMAL range)
I’m going to choose anywhere abs
Honestly don’t have a fave sweater bc this is my first fall PO. prior to this year, I didn’t have many sweaters bc I’ve always been so hot-natured. Gonna need to find a fave. How fun!

Oh and because its October, I’m gonna put this here in honor of myself and all of my sisters who have battled, or who has had a friend or loved one battle this beast.

Same! Eat beans... 5lbs Water gain immediately 😂


This is why carbs— even healthy ones frighten me so badly
That’s something else I’m going to work on this month: my fear of healthy carbs

I know but I absolutely can't live without carbs... In every vegetable and fruit. I don't eat much fruit but veg and legumes are my forever diet so I made my peace 1+ years ago that I would be perfectly happy in this range forever if it meant I thoroughly could enjoy life ... And I do 😍

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

      2. 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.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
