although i do know its possible to loose more weight- im looking at the scale and seeing a number and wondering if i will ever get any thinnner then i am right now. is that crazy? like i had this surgery and im still doubting that it will work for me even thought i am being good and eating healthy it doesnt seem possible bc i am soooooo used to FAILING... how horrible is that?

just wondering if anyone else has felt this way...and have had themselves proven wrong...

I got stuck at 200 , 190 and then 188 for three weeks. Now Im stuck at 184. It is crasy even though I have lost 34 lbs in nine weeks. I feel the same way. I still see my self as FAT and have a hard time seeing myself any other way.

You are not alone... I am sure this thought has crossed all of our minds at one time or another.

I am finally believing in myself where I know this will work and it will happen!!!

You can do it!

I got stuck at 242 around December. I got another fill and I'm down to 226. ;)

Just do the right things and it will come off. ;)

I was stuck at 237 from before Christmas...just this week, the scale started moving again. Remember, fat takes up a lot of space, but doesn't weigh much...you can lose a lot of fat, and it will only be 1 pound. Also, when the scale isn't moving, the body is changing...I didn't lose any weight from December to this week, but I was able to wear one size smaller. Relax, and let your body adjust. Keep after it, and you will see the results you want. Cindy

I know its hard, I lost over 30 pounds in the first month....now its taken me 5 months to lose another 25...but you are going in the right direction and your body is adjusting! for me I go like a month with no weightloss..then

bam...5 pounds gone..then I go another 3-4 weeks, bam some more gone. It took me 10 yrs to gain 100 ponds and I have lost 6 years of weight in 6 months....Thats what keeps me going! You CAN do it, even when you have down falls....your band will keep you on track..WORK IT!:clap2:

It's quite a headtrip isnt it?

I rememeber pre banding, all of the last year I went on shopping sprees where I bought size 16 clothes to stockpile. I bought a few 18's too which I am wearing now.

In my mind, 16's (US 14) were tiny tiny tiny and they represented my goal weight. I have to say I think sizing has changed an awful lot since I was last a 16, since I'll be wearing those clothes in another 10kg! But I cant get my head around it - I try them on and they slip on easily - just cant get the zippers done up yet, lol. Before I couldnt even get them past my thighs. But I cant reconcile I'll be a 16 but I will still be overweight because I know they'll fit by 90kg which is still 20kg over my goal weight. So what, I'm going to be a 14 or even a 12? Last time I was a size 12 I was honestly 10 years old!!!!!

But you just look the same to yourself however many pounds down dont you? You cant see that you've shrunk apart from when you catch sight of yourself suddenly or unexpectedly.

      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.
