Recommended Posts

checking in this week at 257.2, down a pound. Wish it was more, but with the poor food choices I made this past week I'm just happy to see a loss at all.

Hello everyone. I am down 3.8 pounds (to 230.8) this week. I have been sick this week and the dr. gave me some antibotic that has literally taken away my appetite...so I have really been losing, but I know that these higher numbers will slow down once I finish the meds.

I am actually up 2 pounds today. But I think it is Water retention. I can feel it in my fingers/hands. I have had a craving of Tomato juice this weekend.

While I love it, it is loaded in salt. So I plan on drinking a lot of water today and during the week and hoping for a loss by next week.

157 today :(

      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. 🤞
