286 today!! My official weigh-in at my post-op appt. I started this process on July 2nd at 336! I'm now at 286!! 50 lbs lost!! <3 I also bought my Halloween costume today! This is the first time I've ever fit in a plus sized women's costume!! I'm squeezing into a sailor girl costume and next year I'll do the same thing because October will be my bandiversary, so I wanted before/after to be Halloween costumes. I chose a sailor girl because my grandfather, who passed away a year ago, is a navy veteran, and he was always encouraging me to lose weight. :)

Went down, then up, then down, a bit. I'm roughly stuck at around 285.. I hope I don't climb back up.. :( I don't really know why I'm like that, but I'm just trying to heal right now anyways. I haven't had my first fill yet, I don't think I'm gonna panic. xP

WOOOOPS. I thought check in was the end of the month lol.

Currently at 261.2 so a loss of 6.4 so far!

I don't think I will get down to 245 by Oct 31st, that wasn't realistic. I'm hoping to be at 258 :)

Down another 2.8!

Weighed in at 258.4 this morning!!

Total loss so far 26.6 :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. 🤞
