I go back to the doc tomorrow and I'll find out how much I weigh. I'm both excited AND really nervous...

How did it go?

WOOHOO! Under 200 lbs weighed in at 198 lbs today :*)

Congratulations! That is an awesome accomplishment. I'm a little sad I'm not there yet but happy that someone else from our surgery date made it :) I feel a little closer every day ... I'm OCD about weighing myself.

Not so great. I lost a disappointing 12.5lbs. :(

My doc thought it was just fine (35lbs since surgery) but I think it's too low.

Oh well, a loss is a loss I guess. I'm going to focus on getting all my Water in and get my fat butt on the recumbent bike consistently. Otherwise I'm doing everything by the book. SIGH.

Don't beat yourself up. That's a great weight loss! Think about what it was like before surgery. For me, it was never consistent. But now, every week I lose weight. Sometimes it's a lot; sometimes it's not...and sometimes I stay the same, but I don't gain. In the long run, it's not how fast you lose weight, it's just the fact that you lost it.

You'll get there. We all will. And in our own time.

Thank you so much! I had a great day yesterday. I was wearing size 22 pants and they were getting overly baggy so I went to buy a pair of 20s and found that I actually fit an 18 with a stretch waist!!! Yay!! :) You are right. I'll just embrace my own path. I really appreciate your words of encouragement.

I can't believe it. I've been saving a bunch of clothes thinking I won't be able to wear them for another 10 pounds. But I tried them on just now & I can wear them! In fact, three pair were too big! Best decision ever!

I am OCD too so I do not have a scale I only allow myself to visit hubby at work once a week and weigh in there.

      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.
