Cann't keep up with my 3 Boys! Alpena MI



Recommended Posts

:eek: Hello- I'm excited next week Thursday is my banding. My boys are 8, 6 and 4. They go none stop-you would think that I would be as thin as a pencil. I was never able to loose the weight after having the kids and working full-time. So here goes nothing! :P--

Good luck on your upcoming surgery. I'm sure you will do fine, and you will soon have sooo much more energy to keep up with them. I am from East Tawas. Where are you having your surgery at? I'm going through Hurley, still waiting on a date. Only a couple weeks till I'm done with my 6 month diet.

You will do great!

Congrats on thurs, and good luck! I also have 3 boys, ages 16,18 and 20 next month. I doesn't seem possible. Seems like yesterday they were an infant, 2 and 4. Goes by so quickly. I'm getting banded 9/29, 1 week from today. I'm getting so excited/anxious I can hardly stand it. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up better with the hiking, snowboarding, etc and just feel better all around. :girl_hug:

      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. 🤞

      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.
