How will u maintain....?

i want to loose those last 10 lbs so i can join the century club

to maintain - my NUT and i have to discuss how many calories to take in - i think the magic # will be 1,100 and 1 full cup volume of food - WooHoo :)

i bought a bunch of clothes at Kohl's - 2 new blue jeans, 1 pair of kaaki (msp?) pants -3 blouses, gym outfit, zip up sweater and..............a partridge in a pear tree ;)

btw - i really do look amazing :)

i don't want to go over that number - but i'm sure if i did a couple of times or say, i won't die, nor will i gain 5 lbs

in the past, i could never maintain my weight - up and down on that see saw. no more playing games, i will continue to watch everything i eat, exercise, etc. - continue drinking all my Water

if i do everything right, eating etc. - i'm working my sleeve - the sleeve should be nice and work with me too

i will keep this weight off - i'm determined, theres no reason i shouldn't be successful -

very happy

i want to btle this wonderful feeling up - and just hold on tight to it

i feel like one hot grammy :)

you are doing so great - you've already joined that elite Century Club - keep up the great work

when i was a little baby - i always said to myself "when i grow up i want to be in the Century Club"

i'm not a baby anymore - but baby look at me now :)

WooHoo

Way to go.

I've been reluctantly buying clothes on the clearance rack because I don't want to spend a bunch of money on stuff that's not going to fit me in 6 months.

Also, my wedding ring will not stay on at all, but same thing, I don't want to resize it...only to have to resize it again. You wouldn't think you're fingers would shrink that much.

There is a cheap solution to the ring pblm. Ask your jeweler for a ring guard. It slips onto the bottom of the ring and can be made smaller as needed. Then, when you're done, u can spend the bucks to have the ring resized.

      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
