Hey there I’m 18 months out, and I am feeling blah , self conscious about my body. Being intimate with my partner is a challenge for me to participate in. He is a bit heavier then me and over the last 4 years embraced his dad bod . Well I focus on what I can change taking my Vitamins daily and staying active , trying new things , I went back to school. Before the surgery I would never have thought of going back to school. I’m sorry excited , life is precious and shouldn’t be wasted. I hang onto my routine when I do anything protien shake in my coffee, having protien , keeping my carbs and sugar limited. I just get so bored. Any advice also I have lost so much of my bottom, that sitting has become painful and uncomfortable. Any wisdom thanks

Do you have a hobby? Maybe find some activities or something that interest you to keep you busy. For me riding my jetski, Video games and fishing are the things i do to keep me busy and not bored.

Check your Thyroid, I remember a time in my life I felt like that. Very apathetic of everything. At the time, I had everything I wanted, moved to Hawaii after a winning a custody battle. I had the best job, that pay me to travel all over the Pacific Islands. The beach was my playground. I was so apathetic. Little I know I had tyroid issues. I discovered after a routine check up with a naturopath. Once I started the treatment, I came back to life. Never underestimate how annoying the endocrine system can be. Still in Hawaii, enjoying the beach and my new weight, as I Celebrate my 1 year anniversary of surgery this month 70 pounds less.

      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. 🤞
