It's been 3 months, going into 4... I've had 3 fill ins, still trying to get into my green zone. I loose, but not as much as I hoped for. I think I need to work out more. Starting weight at 257 current weight 219.

Here's some Pixs:

Me before surgery

I think about a month?

2 months ago

Last month, shirt fit me big I got my old size but it didn't fit well, sadly I wore it once, and not again

This is me now, with a shirt that marinated in my closet for two years. It fits and loose now....

Well everyone, I can really only count with the honesty that you lovely people can give me. It least I know you will be honest.

I can handle it! :)

Down 38 pounds in 3 months, that is about 3 pounds a week. Which is above the average of 1-2 pounds a week. So lets be honest......That is great!!!

Keep doing what you are doing, it's working great! Congrats on the progress. :D

BTW - You look great, too.

Look, I'll be honest, but I don't think you'll like what I have to say.... So, if you can REALLY "handle it" let me know and I'll tell you what I see/think.

Honesty is key right? Let me guess? I look the same? Looks like I haven't lost anything? Still fat? Throw it on me I'm sure it's not Anything I haven't heard before.

April 24th. I like that the weight comes off slowly enough that I occasionally get really surprised by unnoticed changes. There is one pair of pants I'm always sucking in my gut to put on...and then I realize...I don't need to suck it in anymore....they fit fine...and are actually getting too big!

You need to put on a shirt thats a little tighter so you can start to see your shape change...you'll be amazed!

      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.
