I would like a challenge to lose at least 10 pounds by valentines day. I have been stalled on weight lost, so I think 10 #s is reasonable. I'm in:thumbup:.

I have been banded for 2 weeks as of yesterday and I can all ready say that it is the best thing I have ever done in my life! I weighed in at surgery at 290 and as of this morning i weighed 276. I have a goal of 250 by Valentines Day. I have not weighed 250 since I was in 9th grade!

I'm in! I am currently at 220. I would like to be under 200 by Valentine's day, but I have been stalling a bit lately so I'll go with 12lbs which would put me at 208.

I'd like to do the challange as well. I just got banded about 2 weeks ago and as of my follow-up appointment yesterday, I've lost 20 lbs. Though I know the rate of my weightloss will slow, I'd like to get out the 300's by then. So for me, another 31 lbs would be great. 299lbs by the 2/14 is my goal.

I too would like to join the Valentine's Day challenge. I would like to lose 20 lb by then but it is probably more realistic to say I will lose 15 1b.

I am up for the challenge even though I was just banded on Monday. I want to stay focused and enjoy the encouragement and support of the group. Ten pounds sounds good to me.

OK I'm in! :)

Never done a challenge before, so let's see.....6 weeks till Valentines Day, so I'll say 12 pounds. I was banded 12/14 and am regular food now, so my loss is really slowing down. So that would put me at 209 on Valentines Day.

      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.
