I'm late posting but I did weigh in yesterday. My goal was 198 and I weighed in at 201.2. I didn't meet my goal..again. However, after stewing on it all day yesterday feeling disappointed in myself I realized I should be proud of myself. I took a long look at what I HAVE accomplished. I've lost 10 clothing sizes, I've lost nearly 97 pounds total and I did come so close and I did lose 7.8 pounds in 3 weeks..pretty good for being almost 11 months out. I looked up the word "goal" and found this definition: "the end toward which effort is directed". I did give it a good effort and will not give up. I've come a long way and had my struggles.. just to give up on myself would be a waste. I really enjoy the challenges, it makes me try harder. I'm so happy for those who made their goal..good job and to those who didn't, you met the goal to try :)

Unfortunately, I missed my goal by 2 pounds. Although I am maintaining a 40 weight loss, so I'll take it!!! I'll try for my next goal of 130 for Christmas, current weight 137....

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
