I'm game. I'm 301 right now. I'll shoot for 30 pounds by April 13th. 10 pounds a month is totally realistic and I'm starting my exercise routine as well. I can't wait to be in the 200s!!

Sounds great!

My weight is 214.4 - I'm a new sleever so I'm not sure what is a realistic goal.

April 13th goal would be...50lbs? That would be amazing though.

I'll think on it but I'm definitely up for a challenge!

Okay, joining in...I would LOVE to lose 15 of the 21lbs I have left. I *know* it doesn't seem like much, but I'm 15 months out and the loss has been reeeeeally slow since about 8 months post-op. But I'm up for the challenge...thanks for starting the thread BD!

Just updating, I'm down -2 of the 15, so it's going slow but it's going... :)

      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. 🤞
