Well a little update, I just got back from the Dr. I lost 10 lbs this month. Whoohoo for me! He asked if I felt ok. I said I feel great, but it took 2 weeks after the fill for me to realize what I can/cannot eat. So, he said I am at 32 bmi and he would talk to me about where we go from here when I get to 28 bmi. I said I will see him in April, but will be on vacation in May. So I will talk to him in June about where we go from here. :cursing:

OK - so I have not been loosing very fast lately. I know it is mostly Water related. I have just not been drinking my water. I will think, oh, just too busy. But it makes such a difference I just have to do it.

The good news is that we went on Spring break vacation and I did NOT gain any weight. That is the first time in my life I have gone on vacation (eating out all the time, etc) and not gained weight. One time I gained almost 20 lbs on vacation....yckky gross! I may not make my goal...but I am troop on to get as close as I can!

Well, I am adjusting my goal for this challenge. I hope no one minds. I think I can loose 10 lbs this month with the incorporation of exercise and if I hide all the kids Easter candy. I think I was a little too ambitious this time. But I feel good about the new goal!

Hi Folks, well I am down 13.6 lbs, but need to loose another 10.4 to make my goal. I don't think it is likely because I only have 7 more days, but this challenge has been good for all of us!

      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. 🤞
