I have finally broken my 12 day stall (sitting at 150 lbs.) and this morning weighed in at 149.5 pounds. This puts my bmi officially in the normal range (barely, but I'll take it) :thumbup1:

I am just so happy. I've been normal on the scale at Jazzercise and even hit my goal weight on the Wii Fit scale, but my bathroom scale is the one I've been waiting on...the one that "counts" and it's finally there too.

Thank you to everyone on this site for their support, words of encouragement, and friendship. I know I'm not quite done yet, but feel I've just jumped my last big hurdle and I WILL make it to the finish line now.

Horray for DeeDee! Good for you! I refuse to weigh myself, i came home from the surgery on Dec 31 and the first thing i did was throw out my scale. . . i only weigh now at my monthly doctors appt's. . . weird huh? But i can tell on my clothes and that is good enough for me right now. . . I had such horrible luck before my surgery with weight loss and i was hooked on the scale, always weighing myself, i was always dissappointed very much and depressed. When i got my surgery i told myself i will NOT be depressed ever again over a scale, so threw it away. . . hubbie tells me i'm much more pleasant and happy now. . .

Thanks guys! I made my husband do a photo shoot of me after exercising this morning. He didn't understand why and at the end when he asked and I told him because I'm normal now...he just smiled and shook his head. That's why I love this site so much, we all get it.

Whoo Hoo Dee Dee!!!

I have 9.5 lbs to go before "normal", it's definitely my current mini-goal I'm working towards. You're right, many others don't get it, but WE understand what it means. Congratulations on your success. Way to ROCK YOUR SLEEVE !!!!!

      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. 🤞
