I haven't received my band yet but I plan on recording my journey through scrapbooking. I don't have a web cam so youtube is out of the question for me. I like to scrapbook anyway so I figure it's a good way to show what I've been through in the future!

I am keeping a picture journal on my computer, but I don't upload pictures because I work for children's services and DO NOT want a client to run across information like that online. I do enjoy watching other people's progress online though, it is wonderfully motivating.

I did not take any before pics. I hate seeing myself in that condition and don't want anyone else to see it either. Silly, I know, then I can't see how different I look at goal. I just want it to stay in my past and leave it there. I may run across a pic from a family function or something when I was close to my highest weight, but I hope not.

I have my consultation tomarrow and I got a new camera so that I can take pictures and I think I will record my journey through scrapbooking and journaling. I hate seeing myself at this size too, but I think if I record my journey I can look back and see how much work I put into it and it will help me when maitenence time comes!

I record mine on you tube too. It is a great way to hear andsee what others are doing and when I am having a frustrating moment (like now) it keeps me motivated. Good luck on your journey!!

      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
