Recommended Posts

Just had my one year surgiversary on Friday. 124 pounds! I would like to lose about 5 pounds more and use those as my "bounce" Going to doctor on Wednesday for my one year check up and am going to ask him how to STOP losing weight now.

Working on building muscle and contemplating plastic surgery. So happy and blessed to have taken this journey and now it is perseverance to maintain good health and strong muscles!

Today was my one year surgeriversary!! Would do it again in a heartbeat! I've lost 80 pounds and went from a size 14/16 to a size 4. I feel so much better and healthier than I did a year ago. It's nice not to ache every day and to be able to be more active and keep up with my little one. I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!

October 24th was my 1 year surgiversary! Lost 92 pounds and feel fantastic! Went from barely squeezing into a size 18 to fitting into a size 1 with some wiggle room! I went to my 20 year high school reunion and it was amazing, I looked and felt better than I did in high school. I love my sleeve, and I LOVE the fact I have saved my life! Hope you all are doing just as fantastic!!!! :)

Hey guys.. Posting this but dont know if any of the Oct 2012'ers even come here these days! Wow...how were your holidays? i'm up about 8 lbs. :(. Plan on ordering unjury and getting back on track. Those sweet treats sure do go down easy. Ugh. Wish i was below 200 by now, but hope with dedication and not being complacent i will make it eventually.

LDallas. Hang in there. I have my moments. I went on a seven day strict diet a couple of months ago to get myself back on track. I am at goal and sometimes I don't eat as I should but for the most part I am doing well. Best of luck in 2014.

Hey all. Havent been here in forever. But I've gotten some emails about other updates and figured I'd swing by.

I had my surgery 10/2/12. My starting weight was 322lbs, size 24 and 4x shirts. Bra size was 48F.

As of this morning I'm at 178 lbs, size 8/10 pants, shirts L-XL and thats due to chest which is 32E they didnt go very far.

My goal weight is 175, I'm 5'9". Im almost there. I've read and saw everyone seems to be doing great. Keep up the great work

      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
