Need Inspiration..how Much Have U Lost?



Recommended Posts

I was banded 12.23.2010 Starting weight 263 currently 178 85 lost 43 to go. :P

It has been a while since I posted and I have had a set back. My band slipped off and it made me really sick and now it will not be put back on until February. I was devastated when Dr. G told me I would have to wait until February. So I have had a normal size tummy since Nov. 20. 2012 but I still eat as though my band is fill. Dr. G also told me to begin working out so I hired a Personal Trainer and she has been working with me to make sure I don't gain. So far I am down two pounds and counting. I will be lighter by the time I weigh in on January 14, 2012. I am determined not to gain any weight in spite of the holidays.

I was banded 1/30/12 at 330 pounds, today I am at 191 with 20 pounds to go for my goal. Getting slow now as I am down a pound, up a pound, but the clothes size is still going down. Started at a 24-26 and I am now in a 14. Love my band! Also, I have only had one fill.

Very inspiring we are all in this together. I LOVE your use of the word FREEDOM ... When I was 450+ pounds I felt (and was) imprisoned in my Body in able to do much of anything - connected to oxygen ... I would think ... Geez even people with a Life sentence in solitary get out of their cell to walk around/exercise an hour or so a

Week... Yet I CAN NEVER escape the prison of my broken body for even a minute

Life is different now !! Freedom is awesome : )

You are very INSPIRING! nothing is impossible if you do the work. Congrats on your new found freedom.. it must be bliss! :)

I was banded may 2008, started at 280, 270 at surgery, an then 8 months later I found out I was pg with my oldest; I was weighing 208 at the time and 15ish pounds away from goal. Of course I was unfilled and ate EVERYTHING! Needless to say I gained almost all of my weight back. I dilly dallied around with my weight loss, it was super hard for me to go back to my healthy eating habits. I would over eat and make myself sick a lot. This delayed my weight loss, until one day I was sick & tired and buckled down. I was at 217 last Xmas when I found out I was pg again :) i didn't gain this much this pregnancy (at least I don't think) and here I am now, two fills @ 2.2 252lbs and hoping to stay on course. Life isn't perfect and things will happen but it's important to get back up when we get knocked down and delayed in our journeys... I learned the hard way ;D

      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. 🤞
