I have to laugh at myself and thought you might get a little laugh too. I am super excited because my BMI is 42.25. All I need to do is get down 2.25 points (about 15 lbs) to move from the Morbidly Obese category to the Obese category! I am so excited. I'll probably lose my mind when I wind down to the Overweight category. lol.

When I went running out of the bathroom screaming " I'm obese! I'm obese! I'm obese!" My family thought I had lost it!

Ok mom! We know you are fat but come on, obese? Really?

Ha!

:) I am right there with you, the only reason I had this over whelming desire to reach my normal body weight was so I could say I am not longer overweight I am normal. I least I could weight to hit this number was 132 so that was my goal. I know silly but I had been morbidily obese for a lone time and last year I was still obese, when I hit just over weight, I was excited and than I became obsessed. Congratulations on you success to date.

I agree completely.... When I hit the normal BMI I finally realized I would live the rest of my life as a thin person.

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

      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
