Putting a face to a name



Recommended Posts

It's so exciting to pics of my Double V's! Honestly, some of you girls who say you are only halfway there have my dream bodies! (marathinner and JaxBandster come to mind!) I just want to look nice and curvy in jeans and I'll think I'm a hottie! I've never wanted to be bony (thank GOD, since bony is a physical impossibility in my family!)

You are all so beautiful!

And Ezma, I can tell a huge difference in your waist! I don't have boobs but the rest of our bodies could be twins! (Ponytails and all!) I can't wait until I've lost as much as you and can start to see it for myself!

Hello ALL!!

Wow.. this is so great to put a face to a name. I had to do some digging as I dont allow full body shots neither.. but i found these which are making me cringe.

The picture with the camel... my face.. not sure if it was due to the smell or the thought of my father taking my full body pic and having nobody in front of me to hide me..lol

Anyhow.. these are my befores... I am scared to compare to now in fear i wont see a difference but i will try to get the courage to take some soon.

Hugs to all

Lynn

You are so beautiful! And you are so close to your mini goal. Congrats! And I love your name. But then I might be biased since Lynn is my middle name. :biggrin2:

Thank you Ezma, that is so sweet and kind of you to say. I don't feel I am beautiful.. well.. at least not on the outside:frown: but this is why i got the band.. so my outsides can catch up to my insides (inshallah, God willing):rolleyes2:... as for my mini goal.. i was so gung-ho 2 weeks ago thinking I was there.... I got a little too cocky and then hit yet another plateau )#&_$*&@#(^@% .. I have to admit i was being hard on myself but considering I am dealing with constant hunger because i have yet to have a fill, I decided to go easy on myself and still see the accomplishments I have done instead of the failure to reach my mini goal by my set date.

Again.. thank u for your kindness

Love Lynn:wub:

Lynn! You are stunning! Don't get too hard on yourself since you haven't had your first fill. You'll feel a bigger difference in your band if your fill is pretty substantial! Even if it's not you will do great because you have that CAN DO attitude!! :biggrin:

Lynn! What a beautiful smile you have!

You know, you should take some pics really often. I didn't want to at first either, but as the weight and the months drop by I am seeing a difference every time with every new set. I am glad I chose to do this. It is very motivating to the self. Don't wait too long. I usually take a set about every 10 lbs. although I failed to take some at 249. I know there is a big difference in myself in just that short time and I will never get back there again. It was a moment in time I will forever have missed... don't let that be you!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
