This will be my first challenge ever! And one of the few times posting on the site... I've always been a lurker, just getting encouragement and ideas, never joining in... But, I had surgery 12/26/11, and although I've gotten so far, I'm just not satisfied. I've been holding the same weight for nearly 3 months now, and I'm happy with my size, except yesterday I weighed in and gained 3LBS!!!

Pre DOS Weight: 211,

Holding weight: 146-147

CW: 150

I went from a size tight 14, loose 16 to now wearing a 4/6... I am happy with my clothing size (although I still have a hard time realizing what I really am). But 3 lbs really terrified me. I know that I've fallen off the bandwagon with soo many things, and some bad habits are totally creeping back in. So, this challenge has perfect timing and is great for me to gain some accountability, and in addition to the weight, I plan to give my self a non-scale goal each week. First, getting in my Water like I am supposed to.

I don't want to get sickly skinny looking, but I would like to lose enough to have a cushion and not risk freaking out like I did yesterday when I saw the scale. I haven't even been reading the site like I used to, so hopefully this keeps me in tune

NY Goal: 135.

Great idea...

HW : 11/01/12. 300 lbs

DOS : 11/14/12. 297 lbs

12/01/12. 284 lbs

New years...250#

I am new and shy to this site..but I have to say anyone who goes through with this surgery is a winner. Don't get discouraged, from what I have read everyone is on the right track...don't beat yourself up over things..remember we did this to live longer and enjoy life....so remember to smile at yourself and keep chugging...

SW 260.0

Surgery 6/18/12

I think I'm going to change my goal weight to 165.0! I need to keep myself on my toes during the upcoming holiday temptations! I still think it is doable. I'm on vacation all week really looking forward to getting in some nice walk/jogs outside in the beautiful fall Texas weather! I'm also trying out a crossfit class both Monday and Wednesday. Wish me luck! Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

      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. 🤞
