I have finally gotten out of the 200's! Today I weighed in at 199.5! I had tears in my eyes as I ran naked out of the bathroom and was jumping up and down kissing my boyfriend with excitement. Poor guy didn't know what hit him. When I started this journey I weighed 291 in Spetember 2009. I lost 36 pounds during my pre-op, so for surgery on December 13, 2009 I weighed in at 255. So far I have lost a total of 91 pounds. I still have about 55 more that I would like to lose. But it is amazing on how great I feel now. My back doesn't hurt, my knees don't ache. I can actually run on the treadmill and not feel like I am going to die. Overall I feel amazing. I feel pretty and I haven't felt that way in a long time. Here are some before, during and now pictures.

CONGRATS AMBER!!!!! That is super awesome!!!!

I'm not too far myself, only a bit over 13 lbs to go. Considering I haven't been less than 200 lbs in 20 years I'd say I'm really looking forward to it, so I KNOW you're over the moon!!

:cheer2:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
