What a 150 lb weight loss looks like...



Recommended Posts

Yes. Yes. Yes to all accounts! lol

I shaved years off my appearance' date=' My skin tone lightened and evened out and my hair did grow, but I did experience some thinning around the edges. I will say that I started very early on taking the Vitamin Biotin and still do for Hair growth. And, yes.. I drink a Protein Shake EVERYDAY. It's called Max fortress whey Protein shake. They sell it at Walmart for 16.00 I put 2 scoops in 28oz of Water and that gives me 52 g of protein. The rest I consume with food.< /p>

Hope this info helps :)[/quote']

Nikki82 is that Protein Drink considered ur meal or more like water intake? Is it disgusting or flavored? I have Protein Shakes but maybe your way of just drinking it like water would be easier as the shakes are starting to taste the same to me.

How many calories do you eat? Do you workout? You look great!!!

You look amazing! and so inspiring. I am getting sleeved on March 20. I've had such an inner battle on whether this is the right thing....like maybe I just haven't tried hard enough with everything I've done but when I see pictures like yours, it makes me feel better and hopeful. So thanks for sharing :)

Though I make it with water I consider the shake my meal (breakfast) because my 2 scoops contain 280 cals, 16 carbs and 4g of sugar. I wouldn't say they're nasty, but It's a different taste and it's one I've grown to tolerate. I just look at it as it has what I need therefore I will drink lol. But it's not that bad. And correction..it's called "Body Fortress" Not Max fortress as I previously said. And after that I start drinking my 28oz of water x's 4.

      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. 🤞
