Ok so finally had surgery yesterday so I can join in the fun!

Highest weight 268.6

Surgery weight 228.9

Goal weight 218.0

I have no idea how fast or slow I'm going to lose right away' date=' so I'm just picking a good number.

So I'm already down to 209.2 so with 8 days to go, I would like to get down to 204. I'm losing fairly slowly so don't want to shoot for the moon.[/quote']

I just came from my pcp office. With my denim jeans on (I would have dressed in my scrubs if I had known I was getting weighed today lol) I weighed 209.6 on my scale before I get dressed I was down to 206.8 this morning. Now if I can make it to onederland by the end of the month I will be so happy! Congrats to all of us!

Congratulations to everyone who made their goals and everyone who tried. Working toward the goal is a big accomplishment too. I know I weight so much less than I did last Valentine's day and who knows where I'll be a year from now. I didn't make my goal, still 8 lbs off. What's the next challenge? Any ideas?

Made my goal of 175 a few days ago. Now, I'm down to losing these last 20 pounds. Hopefelly it will get me into size 10/12 jeans. Very frustrated to be stuck in size 14s.

I'm a little late reporting my results. My goal was 151. I had a freaking 4 week stall!!!!

So my weigh in for Vday was 156 lbs. I did still loose, but nothing like I have in the past.

But ..its ok!!! I feel amazing and am very happy. Looking forward to the next challenge.

Well better late then never. Finally hit my Valentine's Day goal on 2/23!!!

My major stall broke and dropping at a faster pace again. It is completely surreal for me to continue to see a "1" at the beginning of my weight!!!

On to the Spring challenge!!!

HW = 278

SW (7-17) = 267.6

CW = 195

GW = 195 :-)

      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
