Pics of me



Recommended Posts

I everyone. I know I don't post much and I'm still waiting on approval from UHC for my band, but I thought I'd post some before pics of myself. Unfortunately most of them I've cropped half of my body off so I don't look like such a porker LOL. . *sigh*

I'm the blonde... this was just this past St. Patty's day:

I love boxers too(not a come on!) classic.gif I just picked up a flashy fawn from the Arlington Animal Shelter. He's about a year old. He didn't have a name so I named him Jet after the Dallas Mavericks Jason"Jet"Terry. He's adapted very well.

Great pictures!

Great photos. I wish this surgery had been available when I was your age! Talk about feeling OLD!

You'll be very happy you did this now, and not waiting until you're over 40 to take control.

Good for you.

Hi Brandy,

You will love the band. And those sweet fawn babies will be a great help in the exercise dept. Good luck and keep sending the great pics of you and the dogs.

I love your babies! I have a 9 month old boxer mix (girl) named Scout that I adopted from the animal shelter. She looks mostly like a boxer but her nose isn't as squished up. She is a trip. She rips her bed apart just like yours do. Good luck with your band. You are on the right track.

Thanks! The flashy fawn is my own (aka "the bed shredder") LOL. The others in the pics are past fosters- I volunteer for a Boxer rescue group here.

Brandi,

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Just so you wont lose hope, I have UHC and they took a long time before they approved me. They paid 100%. Good luck.

*grin* I knew you would Christina :D

The album labeled Kali & Chynna (I fostered Kali)- those two girls were part of a cruelty case, luckily the crazy b*&^ch animal control took them from was sent to jail for animal cruelty. May she rot in there!! They had no hair, horible demodex mange, yeast infections in their ears and were sooooooo itchy. Thus the reason for the shirt- so she'd quit scratching herself bloody. But with a little TLC she was as good as new and all her hair came back and she's absolutely stunning now. My boxer girl loved her to death!!! She was VERY upset with me when she got adopted- She completely ignored me for a week, if I talked to her she would turn her head the other way. LOL

BOXERS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the shots Brandi!!!

        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.

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

      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
