What was the straw that broke the camel's back for you?



Recommended Posts

OMG huge (pun intended) :) Harry potter fan..planning on making the pilgrimage this summer. If that doesn't motivate me nothing will!!!!

Sucky thing is, obviously overweight people aren't getting on that ride, but it is also your body SHAPE. I am tall and very hippy plus the never go away gut after a kid. The seat is like a child car set. hard plastic frame around your thighs, a piece between your legs, tight on shoulder, then, then the chest bar that comes down. There wasn't anywhere for my fat to swish to! A LOT of people where having issues with it. I think they need a car that is for larger people. But a family of Tomato people got off the ride after me. All chins and chests and they got to ride. I didn't tell my friends that I didn't get on, I told them it was great (which it was). Sucked though..2 hour wait for nada..

My straws started about 6yrs ago...I had my second child at 30 and found it hard for the weight to fall off. In my 20s, i'd be able to work out when I wanted to and it would fall off...then at 34 I had twins! The weight was like, "nope, we're going to gain with the babies!" Then last january I had knee surgery, my body was not made to hold this weight! Now that the twins are mobile...very mobile in diffrent directions, I need to be able to out run them...lol!

      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. 🤞
