Thanks Susan. I am not gonna lie and say these are the results I expected. I honestly thought I would be at least 65lbs down. I am busting my butt in gym and most weeks see little rewards on the scale. I now have planter fasciitis and it is painful. I just keep plugging along.

You have done so well!

Thanks!!! I definitely need more time in the gym to tone up so you're definitely my inspiration on that aspect.

I cured my plantar fasciitis by walking about 30 every day.

I am in a night splint. I signed up for my 1st 5k so I need it cured so I can continue working towards my goal. You are the 1st person that said they cured it by walking that is great to hear! I still work out regularly but my long Sunday walks are out right now just too painful.

Plantar fasciitis is on big reason I had the sleeve. I was in crippling pain, close to needing a cane to ambulate. I lost 85 pounds and now am pretty much pain free. Stretch, stretch and ice. Feel better.

Done Did It!

No, no cast. I am seeing improvement by stretching and wearing my night splint.

      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
