September Was Your Progress?



Recommended Posts

Sleeved 9/10/12. So far I have lost 67ibs. Went to the doctor two weeks ago and he said that the majority of his patients loose 75-85% of their excess weight in the first year. I am at 81% in 9 months. WooHoo! Pinky Green...shopping is a whole new experience, right! :)....

Good luck to everyone!

I wasn't even talking about real shopping. I was talking about "shopping in my closet". I really haven't done much shopping yet. I have clothes that I haven't worn in 5 years since I gained weight. I did have to go buy some more panties and bras - I'll have to shop a sale for the bras next time because I am now down to a size that I can't get at Walmart - they carry 38DD and higher, but don't carry 36DD. It isn't a common size, and I was told by a bra shop that I will go down in the band before I will go down in the cup size.

I had surgery on 9/10/12 - I am pleased with my weight loss so far. I have 5 more lbs before I reach my goal. I am hopefully having my plastic surgery in July - Tummy Tuck, breast lift (implants?), and Lipo on my bra line. I am so glad that I had this surgery - it was the best decision for me personally and for my career....it is sad that we are judged on our appearances.

I'm stalled.. I've been stalled for a while and as frustrating as it is I almost wanted to just stay where I am because I'm not unhappy with my weight. I feel comfortable now but I want the number on the scale to be less...I haven't been as on top of my Protein and exercise like I should be so here I am.. Tracking and exercising once again..

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
