Sleeve date: July 3/12

Starting weight: 227

Start of challenge Oct 19: 187

Current weight Nov 19: 180.6

Goal weight (Thanksgiving): 180

So close I can taste it. Oh I'm so punny. :P

I surpassed my goal :) Not sure how but I won't weigh for a while so I won't see the expected weight gain after such an unexpected loss.

Today's weight 178, goal was 180 :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

So my update is as follows:

Pre op 304 lbs

Operation 8/15

Challenge started 10/30 weighed 255.7

Goal for today was 240lbs

Weigh in 11/23 247.3 lbs

So I didn't reach my goal but I set it too high (15.7 lbs) in 3 weeks. I'm proud of where I am so ill make my Xmas goal at 230lbs and see how that goes. The higher the goal, the harder I have to work. Every pound I lose is a blessing!!! You guys all rocked. Don't be stressed if u didn't make goal, you changed your life forever and will eventually make your life goal (:

Pre-surgery Wt: 235.8

Surgery 7/9/12

Weight at Surgery: 208.5

11/1: 166.4 (bouncing around this week)

11/8: 161.2

11/15: 161.4

11/22: 159.6

Challenge Goal: 155

So that wicked stall is holding on but so am I! Upped my Protein and consistent with my exercise. The scale will change. Pajama pants a friend bought me fit on 11/2 but now they're slipping down so I know this is going the right direction. Also my scale indicates I've lost another percentage of body fat so far this month. So I'm off to the New Year's Challenge (skipping the Christmas one) with a smile. :D

Best of luck to all as we continue our efforts to LOSE!

Challenge goal 230 current weight 233. I was upset at first but I realized that even though I didn't hit goal I did lose more weight than I ever had in my life. Also, this was the first time that I went on vacation and didn't gain 10-15 pounds. I am proud of myself no matter what the scale says. I am so happy for my sleeve but I'm happier that I found this site. You have all been so inspiring and have helped me to not live by the number on the scale. Thank you all so much. Looking forward to the New Year Challenge!

My goal was 169, but I only made it to 173. It's all good though--I started a new workout program (Turbo Fire) two weeks ago on Sunday, and have already lost 4 lbs since then. Onward and upward! :)

      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.
