Had a follow up dr apt yesterday and he said I was doing great. I am scheduled to get another fill on Tuesday. I think I will go buy myself a new pair of shoes or a new purse for hitting my mileston.

3 pounds a week- that's a great pace. It's so fun when it comes off fast in the beggining. Keep up the good work!

I can tell you that I know how you feel, I'm officially 20lbs down today too. I had my surgery on Aug. 19, I started with 248 and today the scale hit the 228!!!!!! I'm having my first fill tomorrow, and I'm hoping I can get the ok to start working out.

It's funny about the milestones. At 50#s, I bought a Harley :)

I think milestones are great and you should reward yourself even if it's little things. I have to figure out what I'm going to do for 75#s. I don't think I can outdo the Harley though :D

Take care and congrats!

Yes, I think you may have a hard time topping the reward of a Harley. LOL

      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. 🤞
