1 pound from my goal weight :)



Recommended Posts

I never thought I would be able to say I weigh 160 lbs!! It took me 2 yrs and 1 week but I made it. I started at 272 lbs on May 27th 2011. It has been a rough road at times but I did it! I have found a person inside me that I didnt even know existed. In the last year I have moved 900 miles and started a new life in my hometown after being away for 16 years. I would have never had the courage or self confidence to have done that before lapband. I am so excited to see whats next!

First...Congratulations on your success.....

Are you 1 pound away from YOUR Goal?

I had personal goals also...they all came and went....

I found that since this is new lifestyle and not a diet where you can start and stop, the body will continue to loose untill it reaches that place that is normal and healthy for you....then it will simply stop....providing you keep your Protein at normal levels....

      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. 🤞
