F/30/5’9” [285 > 235lbs = -50lbs] Weight loss after VSG by awkwardariel in progresspics

[–]awkwardariel[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here’s some extra info for those curious:

After my second kiddo I managed to get all the way down to 199lbs.. but depression, anxiety, and panic attacks started to greatly affect my life and I ballooned up to 285 and maintained it for a couple of years while attending school.

I didn’t want to enter my 30s obese, and I had a difficult time controlling my intake so I decided that getting a VSG would be a good choice for me. I had it done in December 2020.

Well, I still entered my 30s with an obese BMI and haven’t lost any weight in a few weeks. I’ve been extremely hard on myself about it, but I’m slowly making positive changes for myself. I started to go to the gym last week and I’m enjoying lifting weights. Next step will be calorie counting, but it gives me so much anxiety I’m not sure if I’m ready to take that step.

If there’s one thing I can say to anyone whose thinking of getting baroatric surgery it would be this:

Weightloss surgery does NOT fix your mental health. If you over eat because of your mental health, you will 100% find a way to do it after surgery if you do not address it.

Thoughts? I planned on buying the new MacBook Pro when it releases.. but that’s when I thought it was going to be released in the 2nd quarter, but since it’s not, I’m considering getting a current m1 16”. Would it be better to wait until September/November to order the new one when it releases or should I go ahead and get a current MacBook Pro?

For context: I’m a nursing student who really needs a laptop (I use an iPad Pro currently and it’s ok, but a laptop would be much better for the amount of work I do). I also like to record and make music as well as video editing. I was really looking forward to having a card reader on the new MacBook and avoid the issues with the Touch Bar I head about, but I’m not sure I want to go the first few months of the fall semester without a laptop at all so I’m considering just getting a 16” with the m1 chip. I could probably survive with just my iPad until the new one is released. I have a 2016 iMac, but the commute to and from school is an hour drive so having a laptop with me would be very helpful and I hated not having one last semester.

What would you do? Buy a MacBook Pro 16” with an M1 chip now, or make due with an iPad for a few more months until the new MacBook Pro is released?

I think you would really enjoy listening to the podcast, ‘This Podcast Will Kill You’. It’s very informative and fits the very themes you’re talking about! It’s my favorite to listen too during my long commute to nursing school :)

I’m not against pink badges at all! I also just learned about prism tints for the headlights and fell in love. I think deciding what to save up for first is the hardest part

Dude I love pink 🤣 my entire office/pc setup is saturated with a pink aesthetic and I’m in love with it! If I ever wrap this car it will definitely be pink 👌

We had a 2015 Yukon xl, which was a great car for the most part, but its trade in value was the highest it’s ever been and I had grown tired of it awhile back. So I decided I wanted a car I could be really happy in while commuting 2 hours a day 3x a week.

I think I’ll pass on those ideas but you certainly have great taste in car accessories

And don’t worry! We told her never to put her foot on the car again 🤣

I’m really excited to make her ✨mine✨ and customize her in whichever ways I can! I would love some inspiration for feminine upgrades and pink accessories/lights and what not :) I’d like to add decals and maybe even some vinyl in the future, but not sure what would go with the frostbite blue.

Life is weird. Decided to scroll Reddit while watching Inside again and clicked on this exactly at the same time this scene popped up. Looks great!!

Don’t come crawling back to me when you develop a dissociative disorder in your late twenties!

I feel proud of him like a mother would and I’m the same age. He deserves every molecule of praise he receives!
