JUST DO IT! Honestly, it was seriously the best decision I've ever made. I was terrified and even more embarrassed to have VSG but I feel so amazing now. I researched for months, finally having the guts to ask my husband his opinion and talk about it. He was not for it but he knew how miserable I was, he heard how negative I was being and he wanted me to love myself the way I used to. With my husband and mom cheering me on, and my mom becoming a loser as well "YAY" I can happily say I've lost 152 lbs!!! I lost, I gained, I plateaued, I cried, I was hangry and wasn't nice at times but I did it. I freaking did it! Not only did I achieve all my small goals along the way, I conquered my biggest goal that I didn't think was possible, mentally or physically but it was and I know bc I DID IT! My highest weight 298.8 lbs to my current weight 146.6 lbs; 2XL/3XL shirt to Sm/Med; 22W pants to 6/8; 9W shoes to 7 1/2. I sleep great, I'm not bloated anymore, my clothes fit, I ride roller coasters with my kids and go karts are so fun. I'm loving my new self, my new life and all the new memories I'm making with my kids and husband has been amazing. I'm so happy I didn't chicken out or put it on the back burner. I hope my short story helps you! Instagram amanda_vsg411
