I honestly can't believe that I am writing this post! After having surgery and getting on this board, I would always see people posting about hitting this huge milestone in their weight loss and I knew that it was a goal of mine, but really didn't know if I'd ever make it. But here I am, 20 months out from surgery and 102.9 pounds gone!! It's been a long haul -- losing some weeks, gaining some weeks, hitting a plateau. But I can say I'm really going in the right direction right now -- working out with a trainer twice a week and just started the Couch to 5k program, eating better, and just got another fill to keep going. I look at the number of pounds gone and still can't believe it. Hope everyone out there keeps going -- it can happen if we let it!! Have a great day everyone -- I know I will!!!

I'm a newbie. One month today and I have lost 21 pounds. I don't know what the average weight loss is for a month but I have been very pleased. I feel great but have been lacking a little in energy so haven't been walking like I should be. I SO want to be in that 100 lb. Club!

Thanks everyone! Such a great feeling that we're all in this together. Judych -- Couch to 5k is a program that I found online ... you can google it and it will pop up. It's a nine week training program to get you ready to run a 5k. I'm only on week two and going to repeat this week as I've had an off week exercising with the holiday, but my trainer said it looked like a really good program to get moving more on!

      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
