Hi Shontel!! Congrats on reaching goal. Meeee too!!! Isn't it a wonderful feeling??!! I am almost fifteen lbs below goal and working at maintaining. It's a slippery slope. I could continue to lose if I wanted to. I NEED 1200 calories per day to maintain. To accomplish this, I need several Snacks per day. My snack of choice is normally a graham cracker with Natural Peanut Butter on it. I can only eat about a half cup of food at each meal, maybe slightly more, depending on what we're eating. How about you? How much can you eat? How are you maintaining? Are you finding it easy? Could you still lose if you wanted to? I was really worried about gaining but I'm finally relaxing a little and not being as obsessive! I still measure and/or weigh everything when I'm home, of course I just "eyeball" it when I'm out. I am still not really ever hungry, so it works best for me. If we eat out a lot over the weekend, I can gain 3 lbs, but everything goes back to normal on Monday and by Wed or Thursday it's gone, without any effort. I'd love to hear how you are doing.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
