Less then 300lbs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I weighed my self and it's been about 5 years since the scale has said 300lbs. It said 298.9lbs. I know that it fluctuates but just the idea that it was less then 300lbs. Since Oct 22 the begnning of my post op diet I have lost about 43lbs. This is great I can't believe how the weight has been coming off. I work in a clean room enviorment in the semiconductor industry and are required to wear a bunny suit/smock. The one I had a month ago is huge on me where before it was tight. I am so thrilled about this whole journey. I know there will be up and downs and I have had both so I must just move on and enjoy the ride.:lol:

Awesome news and congratulations!! What an inspiration you are. My goal is to be under 300 lbs. by the end of the year. I was banded Monday and weighed 322 lbs. before being prepped for surgery. Forge ahead my fellow bander! :D

Thanks for the comments everyone.

To be honest with you the only thing I can give as a tip is keep your eye on the prize of being healthy and happy. I weighed 343 and now weigh 298.9 and would like to be at around 220. I have not had any fills yet. I had the surgery 3 weeks ago. Just stay focused and continue on.

Keep your head up high, take it one step at a time and set many mini-goals. 295, 290, 285, etc... Before long you'll be under 200.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
