I hit goal yesterday Banane01.gif! I scared the snot out of my husband when I came flying out of the bathroom and woke him up to tell him HAHA!

It has been 28 weeks since I had the sleeve done. Started out at 240.8 before the liquid diet, 228.8 day of surgery and exactly 150.8 as of yesterday biggrin.gif Cannot believe I have lost it all YAY! The weight is coming off still and I don't plan to stop it yet. At only 5'4 my goal of 150 lbs still puts me in the overweight category (which I think is beyond stupid) so I will just let my body do what it wants to do for now. The best part? No one believes I weigh 150, everyone says I look so much thinner, so yay for me :)

Even though I had a weight goal in mind I have always been more concerned with getting to a size 8 jeans and I have successfully gotten there with a medium shirt. Last month I tried on a juniors jean skirt that I have not been able to squeeze in to in 10 years, well I just didn't think it would ever fit my body again so I put it in the yard sale pile. Well this weekend I went through that pile and decided to try it on one last time and IT FIT! I wore it to Church yesterday :)

I am still dealing with minor complications, mainly pain from time to time but it's ok, it's not as bad as it was. I still have to take two Nexiums and 1 Zantac a day but again, it's easy to deal with. I cannot exercise, other than walking, at this point so I hope to add it back in soon. My labs looked great however I'm having an issue with dizzyness and we don't know why but the dizzyness and headaches get so much worse if I exercise or even just do too much in one day, I'm guessing it's because I can't eat much still.

Anyways, I posted these pics a few weeks ago but will post again to show my progress :)

Congrats!!!!! I'm so glad you made it to your goal. You look so healthy and happy in your picture! I have just 37 more lbs to go to join you. I'll probably wake up not just hubby but also the neighbors when I hit goal!

Thanks for sharing your success with 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.
