I signed up for the march challenge. My starting weight was 311 my goal is 300. Today I weighed 305. With only 5 days to go would it be cheating to do a liquid diet to get to my goal?

Looks like it's plateau time :), I'm up to 170, but keep hovering between 169 and 170. But I'll admit my regular walking has not been consistent these last few weeks.

Down to 183.4. Looks like I am going to miss my goal of 182. Oh well.

On a positive note, I lost 6.4 pounds this month and am no longer considered obese!

Well, on Sunday I did hit my March goal of 221, which hit my milestone goal of losing 200 pounds.

However that same night ended up in the ER and was in the hospital until Wednesday. I had my gallbladder removed on Tuesday. During that time, I was pumped full of IV Fluid and my kidney function was decreased.

I am still very swollen with fluid retention today and no idea what I actually weigh right now. So... I'm just using the weight before I went into the hospital.

Starting weight: 228

Current: 221

Goal: 221

      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
