Woo Hoo Milestone 2 And 3 Done 50 Lbs Gone !!



Recommended Posts

Hi !!!

My pre op diet 3/23/12 banded 4/6/12 starting weight 339 at start of pre op diet.I posted my first milestone which was getting under 300 lbs which I did June 12.my next 2 milestones were close together

1. Get to pre / post pregnancy* weight of 291

2. Lose 50 lbs and be at 289

Well yesterday I was 289 YES!!!

I have a loooong way to go but I'm moving along.Reading the stories and advice on here has been crucial to me moving forward. I hope my milestone check in also helps some one :-)

my next milestone is a bit far off.It is to get to my nursing school weight of 260.but I think I will try to check in every 10 lbs or so.

* I weighed 291 June 2008 just befor getting pregnant with my son.6 weeks after giving Burt I was back at 291.So I gained 48 lbs in 3 yrs.:-( BUT it's coming off now WOO HOO !! *

Congrats!!! I remember losing my first 30 lbs and my walking was faster and sexier.

I have 47 more lbs to my goal. If I'm happy with just 37 lbs, I'll leave it @ that. My Dr. wants me to get down to 170, and its been over 25 yrs since I've been that weight. I started @ 285 and never thought I would be to where I am today. Just take it one day/pound @ a time. You'll get there. I am :D

Way to go!! Keep up the good work!! I'm day 3 of my pre-op diet, surgery on August 23rd. First two days no worries, not too hungry today OMG! I did exercise this morning so my body just may need a little more energy. I'll have to do a 2 pm shake today. I can't wait until next Thursday!

I know exactly how you feel. It gets better.if u exercised u may want to get in a few more calories.adding the shake is right .I couldn't cope .after 3 days if pre op I called the Doc and asked if I can do something else.they said I can have 2-3 oz of Protein once a day if was really hungry.I had one small piece of fish or chicken at dinner every day for the duration of the pre op phase.

      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. 🤞
