For the first time since 1992 I weight under 300LBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so exciting . I thought this day would never come. My first serious goal has been met. Next goal 280.

Not sure what I am going to do for a reward, but I did just book a Smokey Mountain vacation during fall colors. That sounds like a good thing to call my treat.

HItting 299 has taken me MUCH longer than I expected. But, the fact is I have MADE IT

Awesome feeling, isn't it? I remember thinking "I will never again see a weight with a '3' as the first number!"

Great job!!

congrats- reward yourself with something you were held back from before you lost the weight, it will empower you. For me I reward myself with a pandora bead for my weight loss Bracelet.< /p>

That is my first goal. Started out at 343 the day I was medically retired. PreOp diet weight was 320. Last PreOp weight was 315. Banded on June 23rd. Next Dr. appt is July 11th. Can't wait to see what the scale says. :)

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
