Holy SH.....T!!!! I HIT GOAL!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

For the first time ever in my life, I have succeeded in weight loss!!!! My hubby has never seen me this light ( though I have been smaller- I really hope the saggy skin on my lower body keeps shrinking as it has). But who cares if it doesn't!!! My only worry about this whole self image thing is..... When I catch a glimpse of my face in a mirror, I see my mom!!!! Weird.........,

Wow - congratulations! To paraphrase Martin Luther King - "You are on the mountain top, looking at the promised land!" How wonderful! Enjoy your achievement, and living life as a healthy, thin person.

Congrats to you! What was your secret? Are you working out? When was your surgery date (how long did it take to meet goal?)

I just updated my ticker and realized I am a half a pound from a normal BMI too! I will be 8 months out on Sept 6th and was hoping to reach goal by the end of October... I have 9.6 pounds to to go! It has really gotten harder these last 2 months - in August I only lost one pounds so it is really creeping slowly now. Hoping to still reach my goal before the snow flies here!

Again - congrats on your amazing transformation - this journey is a blessing to all of us!

      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.
