Oct 3 i had my life changing surgery. I have lost 81 pounds in eight months. I am down to 161 at 5ft 8 in. Just one or 2 pounds from goal. I work out regarly and though I have cellulite, not too much flabby skin. I have lost a lot of hair, so I cut it and try to keep my Protein up. I guess my biggest fear is that the weight will keep falling off. That would upset my hubby since he loved me thick. And my padunkadunk is nothing more than a pud now. I have no recent pics but will try to get some. I am 10 pounds thinner than the last ones I posted.

Everyone looks AMAZING! !! CONGRATULATIONS!

I'm down 80lbs myself. I just had my first work flight and sat super comfortably in the seat on one of those little one seat per row planes. Whoo hoo! Easily buckled mine seatbelt with left over on the one side. I could actually tighten it quite a bit. And I could bring the tray down with extra room to spare and could cross my legs too. Felt like a dream!

This has changed my life.

Have my six month appointment today and don't you know I just got my period :( UGH! My check ups always seem to coincide with my period.

Not to mention I gained two pounds two weeks ago and was on vacation. This past week I lost the two pounds but with my period I am afraid I will be back up again. I am at 201 and just want to get to ONEderland already. It is like I am sabatoging myself or something.

Oh yeah, and I went out for dinner and frozen yogurt with my daughter last night. SIGH......

I am 2 weeks away from my 6 months mark and am down 66 pounds! It feels ridiculously slow but I eat sweets and never exercise. I am finally feeling better and stronger so I actually want to exercise now! Never thought I'd say that! I need to reel on tne diet for some personal events coming up but I know with this tool I can do it!

      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
