Where will we be?



Recommended Posts

I know by this time next year I will be feeling A LOT better about myself and have more energy. I am looking to lose 80-100 pounds! I am looking forward to wearing Summer clothes next Summer! I cannot wait to feel comfortable or more comfortable to take my daughter swimming. It makes me sad that because of my weight I don't want to take her swimming.

I told my mom that when I get this weight off I am not going to obsess about the stretch marks that will still be there, etc. I want to be happy and healthy. I do not expect perfection and will be proud of every step I take. We tend to look how far we have to go INSTEAD of how far we have come. I am super proud of myself giving up coffee and diet dr pepper. I was a HUGE addict for both!

Hi guys. I am Julie. Was banded on 6/7. In a year from now, I hope to be at my goal weight or pretty close. I need to lose about 65 to 75lbs. So in a year, I'd love to be about 135. And in a gorgeous bikini with no leg chaffing bruises and no asthma and no heartburn as I lay out in the sun. LOL

I was banded on June 2nd. I hope to be at my goal in one year with 100 pounds lost. I have never been so excited about something as I am about this. I already feel better and I am only down 16 lbs. Good Luck to all.

I was banded yesterday - 6/28. A year from now I will have lost 85 pounds!! When I hit my goal weight, I will need to buy all new clothes. I have about 50 pairs of pants, in all sizes from 10 to 20! At 145lbs, I'll be an 8! An 8! I haven't been an 8 since I was 17 years old.

I'm also looking forward to where I'll be in 6 months time - I'll be looking forward to my company holiday party for the first time EVER!

Go June Bugs! Good luck to everyone!:ohmy:

I don't have an actual weight loss goal. Maybe that's strange considering I've just had weight loss surgery. I'm just taking this thing one day at a time. If I start focusing on the numbers, I'll drive myself crazy. My real goal is to get to a place where I'm comfortable with my body and to keep it there.

I want to be 100 lbs down at one year, preferably a goal. Goal is 140, 100 lbs down would be 162 (from pre-op diet). I'm down 30, so I have 92 to goal, and 70 to get to 162. We are going to Disney World for the first time ever in December, I'd like to be at 200 then. So, that would be 32 lbs over the next 14 weeks. Which would then be 2.3 lbs a week, which is in the range of do-ability.

I will get smaller!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
