Today is my 3 month mark, I've lost 50.9 lbs and for the 1st time ever I bought and successfully wore a pair of SIlver brand jeans. My friends and family are sick of my talking about myself but I'm just so flipping happy! Never thought anything like this would happen for me. :) It's a good day.

We all deserve a little self-absorption time. I feel like I've been doing so much for so many other people that it's MY turn. eventually we'll get to goal and life will get back to normal. Keep up the good work, you deserve to brag a little!

Congrats to you!!!! You deserve to feel proud, it's a daily challenge to think long term and make good choices for our "new" bodies.. Keep tooting your own horn, those that love you will understand and cheer you along. I am subjecting my friends and family to the same thing, lol, I wonder at what point I will have to tone it down, :)

Good luck on your journey,

Dalton

Honestly... I haven't been exercising much at all... I have free weights that I tone with but as far as Cardio?? Other than yardwork, and running errands there is none... I registered for a 5k in October and I need to get off my butt and get ready for it. I didn't want to lose weight too fast so I backed off the exercise. My skin has bounced back pretty good but I am noticing some problem areas... top insides of my arms, belly, and upper thighs.. I need to get back into the gym and use the good machines for toning and rebuilding my muscles. As far as protein?? I rarely do shakes anymore but I try to get in a good 40-80g's a day depending on diet. I buy the pre-made Protein Drinks (Bolthouse Farms) and eat a lot of chicken and fish. I pretty much eat a regular diet and have even indulged in some of my favorite pre-op meals.. Sushi, Chinese, Thai, etc..... My boyfriend loves that fact that I am such a cheap date!!! We usually just share a plate! :)

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
