Non Scale Victory-7 months



Recommended Posts

I haven't been on here a lot...but just had to share.

My husband had surgery in November and has lost over 100 pounds and looks fabulous!

I have lost over 77 pounds now and I feel great. My loss has not been fast-but it is in the right direction, so I am happy! Unfortunately I am a carbaholic, so I really have to work at not having bread.< /p>

With our higher energy level we are tackling some yard work that was not done for quite some time-so my gardens look beautiful, our shed has been cleaned out and washed down, overgrown ivy and pine trees have been trimmed,etc.

I now walk two miles, a couple of times a week with a friend, when we first started I could barely do the two mile sin one hour- now we have no problem finishing in less than 40 minutes! At lunch most days, with other friends, I walk a bit-not counting time or distance-but at least I am moving! And in one week, another friend who just became a personal trainer is going to have her first official client--me! I am looking forward to it. My only worry-she said her PT made her actually like excercise and this is the miracle I am hoping for!

I went from regularly wearing 4x or 5x to the 2x's being too large! My size 32 pants are way gone--I have a pair of size 26 shorts on that are feeling loose-going to get a smaller size tomorrow!

My reward for 75 pounds: My first ever pedicure was today! Yippee!!!

You and your husband are doing really GREAT! Congrats on your weight loss! Good luck with your PT experience and I hope you do get to enjoy exercise. I like it- but have difficulties getting going and making my mind say yes- get on that elliptical! :rolleyes:

      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.
