Recommended Posts

everytime I step on the scale I cant see it... everytime I look in the mirror i can see it... Yes im down 33 pounds.. and cant feel it, see it.. nothing... So I was at a size 32 i was sick of wear shorts that looked like i was wearing a shirt.. so I tried my size 28's on.. (for size) lol.... and OMG they went on and even more exciting... they buttoned and zipped up.... whats crazy about that...

I still want to think of myself as worthless... just tonight im to happy to even think of that.

I just had to share with someone.. and after i told my hubby.. you all were the next on my list... by the way He said " i bet your sexy in those smaller shorts" hahahahaha i told him I will shake it for him when he gets home LOL

Trish,

Go to the grocery store and find a big old 5lb brisket with lots of fat. Then put that plus 5 more in your cart. Then stare at it and realize that all of that is gone forever from your body. It's enough to make you giggle out loud.

That's what I do when I feel like my progress is slow.

Take care.

Hey Trish - Congratulations!!

I struggle with some of those self confidence issues myself, as I'm sure, many of us here do. I often find myself looking in the mirror and trying to poke my stomach in, or looking in the mirror and going, "Yuck!!". I've wondered many a time what my husband sees in me. Hopefully one day, my self image will become a bit better. In the meantime, I'm trying to learn how to love me.

Well done on your accomplishment. Wear those 28's with pride, until they fall off and you have to trade them in on something even smaller :)

        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
