13 months later I have gone from 319 to 199!!! I never thought I would see a 1 on that scale every again! I want to scream it from the roof tops, but I live in a pretty remote northern community, so really it would just be the ravens and wolves hearing me yell, so I will yell it on here instead!

WAAHOOOOO FOR 199!!!

And here I am in my Halloween get up- I put on a bearded hat and am a woodsman! ahahhaha

That is BRILLIANT! You started at the same weight I did. I'm now 228, so hoping to get to that 199 mark by the end of January (hope to get through Xmas without gaining!).

You are an inspiration! Keep up the fantastic work! WOOHOO!

Wow you are doing great!! Our weights and heights are almost the exact same as are our weight loss progress! I started slowing to about 5-6lbs a month by about month 7 out of surgery. But I am doing a lot to maintain/gain muscle mass, so my shape is changing a lot even with just those 5lbs a month. It is so amazing!

Keep up your great work!

I've been walking (mostly) for exercise, but I know I want to build more muscle mass and prevent it's loss over the next year. I've joined a gym and I will have a trainer work with me to get me started.

I'm really looking forward to transforming my body as well! I was always althletic as a child/youth. I played ALL the team sports (usually captain of my team!), cycling, etc. But once I started university I was so busy working full time and going to school full time, the exercise was the casualty!

That's not to say I was ever skinny. I have had an obesity problem my entire life (from about age 8. But it never slowed me down until I hit my 20s. And now I'm in my early 40's! Time to get my life back....... :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
