Valentine Day Challenge?



Recommended Posts

Well, I exceeded my original Valentine's goal of 169 but didn't make my second Valentine's Day goal of 159. Although, I'm happy with my progress!

Happy Valentine's Day Bandsters!!!! Don't eat to much chocolate!!!!:smile:

I had a goal of 193. For the first few weeks, I thought there was no way I was going to lose it. And then I dropped like ten pounds in a week! It's funny how the body does that, huh? Now I am down to 187 and feeling really good. I might be single, but it's still a good Valentine's Day! :smile:

Congrats to everyone on this board! I know a lot of people made (and surpassed) their goals, but for those who didn't, don't worry about it! You lost something! The weight we lost during this challenge is weight we never have to see again! I can't wait for the Easter Challenge!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
