I told myself I'd only post once about me me me and that it was going to be when I hit the 100 pound mark. So...here it is! I haven't suffered too much along the way and am very happy with my progress. The only funny thing is that I'm not that aware of how different I look. People say it all the time, but I still feel like myself. I guess I get less tired going up a hill or something, but it's not as earth shattering a difference as I might have expected. Now I'm struggling with wardrobe and what I want my goal weight to be, and have visions of a Tummy Tuck and maybe a boob lift down the road.

Anyway, a one time yay for me!

Congrats to you!!! I, too, have lost over 100 lbs. I still have issues with looking in the mirror and "not seeing it", although I get comments daily. I had to get rid of 90% of my wardrobe! Anybody have suggestions on where to go to get cheap clothes?

That's awsome! I know how excited I was to get to the 100 pound mark, it brought me pretty much at goal too.

I am so proud of you and the others that have lost 100 lbs. I still have over 100 to go and I am impressed with how you have done. I am two months out and would love to hear what all you did or didn't do. Can you tell me at what calorie level you are eatting and how much exercise you are doing.

The mirror will eventually help you out. I find that taking a picture and comparing them is when I really notice changes. Try that.

YAHHHHH

Hey I have been going to the Goodwill, you would be surprised at some of the really nice items that are there. I actually have a Salvation army and a huge flea market also in my town.

Also check to see if you have an adult consignment shop in your area. I found I could make money selling my old clothes to help pay for the next size down.

Are you where you are done losing? If you are then maybe try Old Navy and Kohls. They tend to have good sales and nice stuff that isn't break the bank.

Can I ask exactly what did you do over the past 6 months? What calorie level did you eat at? How much did you exercise? How many fills did it take to get restriction?

      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
