It's all very normal and very much a part of your journey! I can remember experiencing some similar emotions. That much said, I am glad that I went through with it. Post-op has been easy for me from a physical standpoint but not from an emotional one. Today it all came to a head and the good cry was relieving. Please go through with this. Do it out of love for yourself, do it for us. We're all alongside of you. Being obese is no way to live: it is a sad, slow decline leading to an inevitable and morbid conclusion. You are worth it!

I kinda felt the same way today! Who will I be in a couple of months after surgery? Will I regret this? Being fat is all I've ever known.

But everyone is right! You're worth it! & so am I [emoji1]

I got my surgery date on Monday , I was excited but now I am nervous too. Thinking about the sacrifices I'll have to make and changes but I have to keep telling myself about the big picture . The big picture of a healthier life. With sacrifices comes huge gain of getting our lives back. I lost a good amount of weight already prior to this surgery and can tie my shoes without getting out of breath , I can walk a bit more now, fit into clothes better , I snore less. Those are just a few things we don't even realize sometimes that are effecting us and our way of living. So counter those negative thoughts with all the positive possibilities. I am looking forward to hopefully going sky diving, fitting in a seat for roller coasters , being able to walk at the amusement park, buying clothes that cost less because of sizing (you know plus size clothes can get expensive fast lol ). Remember you're beautiful already and worth change that can better your life . It's going to be a struggle and that's the scary part but we'll make it through ! Congratulations on getting your surgery date . Mine is April 19. We got this girl!

Trinjen---- yes it is your fat suit but it is old, wrinkled and tired. Why not opt for something sleeker, trimmer,prettier in color, that looks GOOD on you? No long will you be baggy, saggy and draggy. You'll look fit, feel fit and be fit. Whoeee! It will be so worth it. Looking forward to my own retailoring, my spring cleaning plans have that on my list. New pastel clothes instead looking and being the shape of a charcoal briquet in a dark wardrobe. No more frust8tion--- I'm going to be SO FINE!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
