Thank you SO much for your responses everyone. I havent been able to check them as often as I'd like but you guys and gals are amazing. Im so gratefu for you all.

So...since that post Ive lost 12 lbs. I am 10lbs away from getting a surgery date.

I have my psyc eval on the 17th!

Im getting closer and closer everyday, and it feels great.

I did the gym dedicated for about 2 weeks straight and hvae kind of started slacking again but mostly do to crzy work schedule. Im more "in the zone" when im at the gym than i used to be. Im on a low carb diet and it seems to be working. Again, thank you ALL SO MUCH.

I have another question....what exactly are they looking for in the pysc eval? What can make them decide you're not ready??

Thanks everyone!!!

They just want to make sure you are doing for the right reasons and that you understand that it will be a lifestyle change. It is pretty easy. Don't worry the psych eval. Good luck on the last 10 lbs. You can do it.

Hi there, fellow Pcos sister here. As you know that makes us insulin resistant. I have taken off 40 pounds by eliminating sugars of all types and eating Turkey chef salads A LOT. The trick is to keep your Blood sugar level. I have replaced Breakfast with a high quality Protein Drink and some days I also skip dinner and have a Protein drink. No breads and lost of high protein. Out for dinner? chicken and veggies only. lunch? tuna fish, plain. Find something you like without the carbs and your blood sugar will stabilize and then the pounds come off. Best of luck to you, I know the battle is touch and temptations lurk everywhere.

I am so happy that you have gotten more then half way through the needed weight loss! Keep up the low carb dieting and if you get bored at the gym try to go to a local track and walk the stadium stairs..those kick some major butt in a short amount of time. I am trying to get my outside exercise as much as possible before it gets to wet and cold to do so. Thanks to crazy California weather it has been in the 80's this week.

      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
