I've lost 102 pounds in a year, and gone from a size 20 to a size 8. I feel great, and this site has given me lots of support and inspiration--although I've not posted until just today (I know--strange).

Even though I haven't had a chance to update my ticker, I am now down 101 since last August. So please add me to the list. :)

I'm just checking in to say that this thread is full of big losers! And I'm so happy for each of you! My goal is to join y'all by the end of September. That would put me over 100 pounds lost in 9 months. I can live with that!

Hello. I am new to this board. I have lost 100 pounds since my surgery November 2003. I would like to lose another 50 lbs before I contemplate cosmetic surgery for the sagging skin. While I am thrilled that I have lost this much, I feel that the journey has been a very slow process for me. I seem to hover over 180 lbs and can seem to do anything about it. Has anyone or is anyone experiencing this and has made a break through?

Don't get me wrong. I am thrilled that I have lost weight and more thrilled that I no longer have to take meds for Type 2 Diabetes and Acid Reflux and that I have more energy. Just need help over this hump? Any help is greatly appreciated.

      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. 🤞
