Working on myself one step at a time!

So I just got my teeth done and will be getting the implants procedure done later this year to hold up my dentures. I let myself go for too long and now it is time to get back on track! I love my new smile and I can't wait to see my new slimmer weight!

Doesn't it feel wonderful to get something done that has been bothering you for a long while? I also had a problem with my teeth that really affected my smile and I just lived with for too long. I finally got it Fixed a couple of years ago. What a boost to my morale! Why did I wait?

I did the same thing with WLS. Almost a decade ago I went through the entire testing process and got approved for lap band surgery. But I chickened out and didn't go through with it. I carried around more than 100 lbs of extra weight for all those years until I wised up and found my courage. I ended up getting the VSG instead, which I am very happy with.

Good for you that you aren't waiting. Go for it.

@@IcanMakeit yes it does! Thank you for sharing your story as well. Yes I have been suffering with my teeth for almost a decade and I finally got it done. Thank you Jesus! I don't know why I waited for so long. It looks great :) I am nervous about getting the gastric sleeve surgery but I know I will regret it if I don't get it done. Now its just to try and find a great affordable doctor to get it done. :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
