Half Way There! 48 Down 48 To Go



Recommended Posts

I am exactly half way today at about 5 months out. I have had some frustrations with losing on the slow side, but I'm still losing and feeling great! I just saw my daughter off to college this past weekend so we were taking lots of pictures. I lost my before picture so I couldn't post it here, but it's on my profile.post-46755-13838396153976_thumb.jpg

A big congrats. But don't beat yourself up for being a "slow" loser & stop comparing yourself to others. You are losing...and that weight in permanently gone. When was the last time you lost almost 50 pounds in 5 months?

Hugs and keep on rocking your sleeve!

Thanks for the encouragement, WOW! 50 lbs in 5 months is awesome and you look great. I send my daughter off to college next Fall and her graduation photos I will be in this May were part of my inspiration to take this journey.

Thanks everyone for the positive remarks! iegal, you are right! I have NEVER lost 48 pounds and kept it off, in fact the most I have lost at one time has been 35 and I have lost that and gained it back over and over...this is the first time I feel like it is gone for GOOD!

Shrinkydinkme, I know what you mean about their graduations and all the photos being taken being an inspiration to looking good! I have another daughter graduating and going off to college next fall, so I look forward to looking better in those pictures than the last ones. Congrats to your success so far!

      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
