Great job! Your doing awesome keep it up. Can't wait to have my surgery. What would you say are some of the hardest challenges?

Amazing!!!! You look awesome, keep it up!!!!!!

hey all- So I have been only on the site for a short amount of time. You all are an inspiration to me and lots of other people. I have not had surgery yet however started the motions for the insurance. I hope to be sleeved late may early June. I have been toting with the surgery, Do I need it? Can I do it on my own? All questions I'm sure everyone has asked themselves. Of course I need it I have 140lbs to lose. I Am an extremely motivated person and work really hard once I make goals but this goal is just at of my reach. So with starting my pre-op 3 month nutrition visits! I have been working my butt off to try to get my weightless going. It's been the same struggle I have always had. My revelation came this morning when I stepped on the scale and gained weight after eating amazing everyday/ all day but last night I was hungry at 8pm and had some pineapple. Yes, it was late to eat but I didn't have a hot fudge Sunday, I had pineapple! When I saw the scale go up this am, that was it, surgery is for me! All my doubt and questions if I should go through with it are over. Now I want it to be next months and not 3-4 months away. Thanks for all your stories and motivating words!!!

Thanks guys! Your secrets safe with me

Hey everyone- Just wondering if any knew when you can start swimming after surgery and go in the ocean? I hope to have my sleeve done in May/June but you never know with insurance. At least if I have it early summer my whole summer won't be lost, I hope. What were you guys told about going in the water?

Thanks guys!

I know how you feel. I have 140 lbs to lose also, only 10 down so far on my own. I know I can lose more on my own. Last time I started dieting I lost 55lbs but still had at least 60 more to lose. I got off the ban wagon after getting pg with twins. I gained all back plus 15lbs more. I have played with all those same feelings you are having. I just started my journey of going to see the nutritionist and wil hopefully have the surgery may/June. I ask myself..... Can I do this on my own? Never have before Can I keep the weight off? Couldn't even keep off less then half when I lose it. Do I trust myself with food? Right now NO These answers make me realize I can't do it on my own and i never had. I want to be heathly for my kids. not sure if this is helpful but know your not alone with second guessing yourself. I know I'm not alone after reading your post.
