Down 50 lbs since surgery 4/26 and 63 total since March 1 (when i was at my highest weight ever)

So for the last two months, ive lost 5 lbs each month. I cant complain I suppose, but I really need to change some things that I know I am still doing wrong, so I can get that closer to 7 or 8 lbs a month.

I am very excited tho, that I have gone down another size in both my tops and bottoms...and I also bought my first pair of jeans in over 10 yrs, and I must say, I look DAMN GOOD in them lol. Ok, well i wasnt sure I did, but I have had tons of compliments when I wore them, so I guess it must be true lol.

I hope everyone is having much success, and if you are hitting a bump in the road, DONT GIVE UP! You can get through this, it may not be easy, but it is POSSIBLE!

The pics below are two days before surgery, (white shirt) and 11/21 (jeans and purple shirt)

That is wonderful and you are looking great. I know the feeling and excitement when you do something you have not been able to do in years.

Keep up the good work. Are you exercising at all?

I am, but i know i can be doing more..everytime i have a good week where i go to the gym at least 3 times...the next week something keeps me from going, like this week, im down with a sinus infection and have fever for 2 days...another time i hurt my ankle..so its always something. i def know what i need to do to kick it up, its just a matter of DOING IT~

      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
