I'm glad your doing good!

I'm at a plateau:( But I keep eating right and exercising so eventually it will have to give right?

I have been on a platue forever! But, I have gone down about 2 sizes.....I Just this week lost 2 pounds finally, it seems my platue lasted over a month! But all the clothes that were just a little too tight now fit perfect, and I can almost wear a tight fitting shirt without any jelly roll!:Banane04:

Kelly, I was just coming to post the same thing:)

I'm not losing any weight but last night I was able to take my jeans off without unbuttoning or unzipping them so even though I'm not losing my waist is shrinking and I'm fine with that:)

Plateaus suck. I had one for nearly 2 solid months that I didn't think I was ever going to break.

Went for my 2 week post-op today, and the OB/GYN wasn't happy with the 14 pounds lost in 3 weeks. I think I have a net loss for the last 3 weeks of 12 pounds. What is really good is that I'm 5 pounds away from what I weighed when I graduated high school 19 years ago.

I have been off track for a few months now and trying to get back on. My Mom died suddenly in December, and that was all I needed it seems, to go right back to the old habits. I know that I have been eating entirely to much and the wrong things. The past couple of weeks, I have tried to straighten myself out and watch what I eat,I can still eat more than the recommended 4 ounces at each meal, but have lost 6 pounds though. Does this mean it is time for a fill? I have had 2 fills since having my surgery last August, both times, the first day was all liquids and the second day I could eat the 4 ounces and feel full but within just a couple of days I was eating more than that. For those of you that have reached their "sweet spot", does that mean you are able to eat only the recommended amount or..what? Very confused as to whether or not call for another fill...please help

Well countrygirl.....I still have to journal everything, to keep me on track! When I did not journal, my weight loss slowed down, but then I also did not exercise for two months. My body however was still changing and went down a couple of sizes. I am back on track and exercising every day. I walk for an hour in the mornings....now I notice changes are happening even faster! I eat about 1200-1500 calories a day. 40 more pounds to goal..I will keep journaling till I reach it, it really keeps me accountable! Good luck on getting back on track! Remember: protien, protien, protien, and Water, water,water and exercise, exercise, exercise!

Hoping that I get the all clear in 2.5 more weeks for exercise. I ended up with complications after my surgery in June, and it threw me way off. That is what happens when you don't follow everything the doctor tells you too. I go on the 6th for a fill. I'm so excited. I can't wait to get back to losing weight and working out.

I have to agree, the inches are impressive! I just now fit into the first medium (a pair of shorts) in I would guess 17 years or so. It really is inspiring, to stay on track! They are T-shirt materiel, but then I tried a non strechy fabric, and I was a large......still I'm sitting here in those mediums! Haha Even funnier, yesterday without thinking I cut the tag out cause it was bothering me.....By the time I thought "hey I should have saved that tag and had it bronzed!" The trash was gone, in the dumpster! Oh well! everyone stay in touch!

The difference from that last fill is HUGE. I can't believe it. I have to force myself to eat. Please, please, please let this last that way for a bit.

Something else I wanted to post. I went shopping last night and I was able to buy some stuff from Aeropostale and it actually fits:) We've had an Aeropostale store here for 5 years but their sizes only go up to XL so I've never been able to shop there before.

      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.
