As of 3/14/2012 it has now been one year since I joined the losers bench. It has been such a joy. I love being able to run a mile without dying over. Shopping in the juniors section again and ordering from ebay without fear of not being able to wear the items.

I've gone from a size 18/20 didn't want to admit it 22. To a size four I even bought a size 1/2 and was able to wear it. I can feel my bone structure in my ribs and it feels weird. The only thing I would change is not exercising regularly. I have alot of loose skin in my inner thighs which is not appealing for bathing suit action.

I have lost a total of 93lbs I went from 230lbs o 137. For those of you on the fence do it.

Here's my before and afters enjoy....

wow you are soooo beautiful. I am having a lapband to sleeve revision on May3. I am getting so excited to be able to post my pictures like yours :)

I am scared though but when I see these kind of pictures the fear kinda goes in the back of my mind and the thought of being thin and healthy takes over. LOL

CONGRATULATIONS

Man I can't wait to be there! I'm a very slow loser and and a year and a half out and am still 40 lbs away from my goal of 128 lbs. You look BEAUTIFUL!!!! Cracks me up though, total proof of vanity sizing - as bad ass as 137 pounds is, there is no WAY it should be a size 2! 130 lbs in high school (mid-late 90's) had me in a size 8! I'm currently 167 lbs and I wriggled into a size 6 pencil skirt, whaaaa?! =P

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
