I am down 18.5 pounds and sooooo very ecstatic with my progress. Not as fast as others, but I am me. Yesterday I went to meet with Ana at Kaiser Bellflowers' satellite office and when I got on the scale and it read 293.5, it took so much out of me not to run down the hall screaming of joy. To see 293 to me is I will never see 300's again. I don't have a scale at home, which is wonderful for me. My next weigh-in will be May 18. Can't wait.

Congratulations! I expect I will lose at a similar rate as I am not able to be active other than in the pool.

I could not STAND to wait two months to weigh! For one thing I would want to know if my diet was having the results I hope for- I have noticed some people actually eat too little and have to up their calories to keep losing. I am amazed you want to wait!

I chose not to have a scale at home because I don't want to have different emotions on a daily basis. I feel as though I would be whipping myself to misery and going backwards thinking this is not working for me.

I can feel and see a difference anyway. That's all I need.

Congrats on the weight loss and on the incredible patience!!!!

Hello All

Okay, I have returned to work after six weeks, and guess what? There is now a scale in the supply room. WHYYYYYYYYYYY???!!!!! hahahahaha.

Anyway, yes, I did step on it, lol. Monday I lost another 6.9lbs in a week. I am now 286.6, down from 312 surgery date. What a wonderful feeling.

I do understand that all scales are different. Still cannot wait til appointment with Kaiser next month.

Say what? I had to giggle that of all things a scale would appear at work while you were away.

Congrats on your progress!

      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
