1 Year Today



Recommended Posts

Well today is my 1 year band anniversary. I guess I expected to be at my goal by now since I only wanted to lose 85-90 pounds but I have managed to get off 53 pounds so I guess if you add that up its about a pound a week. I feel amazing I love the way I look and the way clothes Fit me. I guess the only thing that really bothers me is what number the scale shows! I want it to say 150 but it won't go past 175 but I am

Very close and I know I will be there one day! I haven't been working at it as hard as I could have here lately due to pinch nerve, cyst on ovaries and possible endometriosis! I'm a ball of mess! Just happy I have lost what I have and I'm not going back!!!

Congratulations on your 1 yr and your weight loss Kim. You are doing great. It was a year for me in July too. I agree with you..I have not reached my goal weight yet, but I am a bunch thinner than I was a year ago and it has been worth it. Would not go back to the old me..I like me and my band..I don't miss the 104 pounds that I lost along the way. Keep up the good work.

Thank the both of you! I feel fantastic! And when I look back at old pics I want to vomit I will never go back to that! I guess I have gotten so comfortable with how I look that I haven't been working as hard at it! I'm happy for everyone's loss! Let's keep it up!!! :)))

      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.
