Hello to my fellow June/July 2012 sleevers! How is everyone doing? How are you staying successful? What support have you created for yourself? I'd love to hear how others are doing.

I am down 120 pounds. I have 77 more pounds to go to hit my goal. My weight loss has slowed down quite a bit in the last two months, but I feel great! I just joined a fitness center for the first time in my life. I also invested in some amazing work out shoes and I feel like I'm walking on clouds! (smile) I did a 5K in October. I lost my job in December which has been hard... but I didn't blow it over the holidays like I have so many years prior. I have hope and anticipate good things in the future. I am not perfect - that is for sure - but I am learning to live with small failures and big successess. I think most of all I'm learning to really, really take care of myself. I am so thankful for the sleeve!!!!

Ok - your turn!

God bless!!!!!

I am six months out and have lost 73 lbs. I have been a slow user but I have been continually losing and Im very proud at what I hv lost. I have went from a size 22-24 pants to now in a 16 that are baggy. Whoohoo. I also went from a 3x shirt to a medium shirt size and sometimes large...depends on the shirt. I feel so much better and healthier. I can get in the floor and play with my grandson now. I feel confident I will lose the rest.

Don't get discouraged if you feel you're a slow user. It will come off!

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

      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
