New Years Day Challenge (I only weigh in on Thursday's so final WI would Actually be 1/3 but close enough!) I am hoping to loose 15lbs from today's weight of 253.6 (11/15/12). This goal would put me at 238.6, a weight loss total of 64.4 :)

(Okay, so typing the numbers out was extremely humiliating- so much so that I cried. Am I alone in how ashamed I am? This is an awful feeling- especially when so many others are so very small in comparison! It feels hopeless!)

It is NOT hopeless by any measure. None of us were where we wanted to be weight-wise and this seemed hopeless to us. But now we're rockin' our sleeve and making progress every month. If you haven't already done so, take your measurements now. I really wish I had done that early on. Also take some pictures or graph your numbers. The progress will astound you and keep you pumped. So don't cry, sweetie. Congratulate yourself on having made this awesome decision and commit yourself to making it work. You've already amazed me and there will be much more to celebrate!

      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. 🤞
