:( I feel sad ... I see my self in the mirror and see a fat person that doesn't look like she's losing any weight! And wondering why did I do this :( ... Need words of encouragement ... One of the ugly days I feel like a loser!

We all have I look fat days. It's part of even a skinny person's life. You can't judge a book by its cover. Stop defeating yourself. You are worth so much more.

I understand. I have lost 43 lbs since June and I still feel fat. I am hovering at 201 and know i am still obese, but I still feel big. I think it is our mind. Try to finds something postive to concentrate on. Mine is my face, when I look in the mirror I notice my double chin is gone and I can see my cheek bones and my neck. So when I start feeling that way I look at my face in the mirror and smile- and see my dimples that I have never seen before and know I have made progress.

Stay strong.

Thank you ladies!

I'm feeling much better ... My weight has been up and down 4lbs for the past two weeks now! I'm stuck at 30lbs lost ... I guess this does happen

You just had surgery Oct. 1 ~ you are doing FABULOUS!!! Do you hear me ~ F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!! As women, we are hormonal too and struggle w/ our emotions from time to time. Losing 1-2 lbs per week is good and you are at the high end or exceeding that!!!

Try to look at the positives. For me, I desperately want to find my winter ONE-derland but I find other goals or achievements to get excited about. For example, I started this journey with 150 lbs to lose. I now have 90 lbs to lose. For some reason, it excites me to think I have less than 100 lbs to lose now. So find things to Celebrate about your journey. Also, have you calculated your BMI? 30 lbs can make a big difference at improving that and your health!!!

Go for a walk or get some exercise to get your endorphines and nature's feel good hormones flowing!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
