Congrats on your losses! Wow, 100 lbs. I'm stuck at 77 lbs but am so happy. Does your weight fluctuate up and down, has weight loss slowed down at all? I've been fluctuating and plus loss has slowed. Can't seem to get the last 16 lbs off. :( Once again, CONGRATS! :)

Thanks ladies!

Dorrie, you started out with leas to lose so you're closer to goal than I am!! I'm 5'5 & my weight now is some people's starting weight. I've had a couple stalls along the way, but nothing unbearably long. The loss is pretty consistent at about 15 lbs a month. I hope it continues at this rate for another 40 lbs because 175 is a number I can live with while I continue to lose slower since my Dr. Would like me to be 150 (although I don't think my husband would prefer me that small!) We all lose at different rates & most of you are building up enviable muscle mass. I need back surgery & am not exercising at all....which bums me out. Keep the positive attitude you share with us all & you'll get there!!!! Your loss is nothing to shake a stick at!!

Kayte, thank you for the feedback. You will do fine at 150 lbs and your hubby will smile ear to ear and be so proud of the hard work you've done to get this far. I am such a procrastinator at exercising so I'm not getting much in. I do walk longer distances by parking farther away from the store and my office. I just need to get into the gym and do it. Look forward to heading more about your journey. :)

      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.
