Hit A Goal Today!



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share this. My surgery was 6/26/12. My progress has been slow but steady.

I have set small goals for myself and I hit one today. I have lost 40 pounds exactly!!!! My preop weight was 362, and I'm 322 today! It's moments like this that push me to conquer my next set of goals.

My next goal weight is 312 for 50 pounds lost, then 299 to put me under 300. I can't remember the last time I was under 300 pounds and now that is within my reach! I'm so happy I could cry!

I know first hand how excited you are! I started my journey @ 377 lbs! The amount of weight we have to lose is hard to wrap your head around. Like you I made myself a set of mini goals and fast forward 23 months later I am almost there.... the time has just flown!

You are doing a great job! DO something nice for yourself today!!!

I LOVE the mini goals! I can relate to you I was super super thrilled when I hit under 300 lbs. My next mini goal is 250. I think I will cry when I hit this weight, no really I mean it....

Congratulations and keep up the great work!!!

      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.
