WOW......70 pounds is fantastic. You did not give us much into as to how much you wanted to lose total but I would be jumping for joy at 70 pounds. I am still on my way and still losing but have a ways to go to hit the 70. I know all of the other times that I have lost a lot of weight I have still seen myself as fat and being overweight. I know that when I would shop for clothes I will still go to the big mens section as I just could not quite grasp the thought of being able to fit into regular sized clothes. Even when catching a glimpse of myself in a glass window I would not quite grasp that it was me. That is your mind playing games with you and it take a while for you to accept the changes in your body. I do not weight very often but I thought the other day that I looked like I had gained some weight so I got the scale out and low and behold I had actually lost another 3 pounds. Do not give up and be proud of your amazing accomplishments.

You should measure your waist, chest, calves, and arms. Those shrinking numbers can keep you motivated when the scale isn't showing you what you want. Just keep going and you'll see the results you want!

It has taken me 10 months to lose 64 lbs but I am so excited for every pound lost. It sounds like you are doing great. Stay positive and keep doing what you are doing because it obviously is working!

You have to make goals. Fitting in a certain size, being able to run for so long, that kind of thing. Achievable goals. That way when you reach them, you will feel like you lost the weight. By the way 70 is awesome. WTG!

      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
