My surgiversary was March 13' date=' 2013. I've lost 100 lbs. Went from 260 lbs to 160 lbs.

Size 24W to size 12/14 ladies/13 juniors, 2x tops and bottoms to Med tops and large bottoms.

Measurements bust/waist/hips 42/42/53 inches to 36/32/38.

I'm 5'2'' with a current BMI of 29 down from 48.

I have 24 lbs to get to a "normal" BMI

I'm 10 lbs away from my personal goal of 150 lbs.

I'm eating between 900 and 1100 cal per day aiming for 60 g of Protein and 60 g of carbs.

I can eat most foods, slowly.

I'm having a more difficult time avoiding snack foods.

My mind/mirror image has not caught up with my current weight (I still feel very fat and see a fat girl in the mirror)

So all in all I have come a long way and have a long way to go still.

I'm so grateful for this journey. Peace and blessings fellow sleevers!

You look Great!! Congratulations! You hv come so far on this journey. Keep it up. I desire Snacks at times too and hv started doing Peanut Butter and celery and Protein Bars. It helps and its better than eating candy! Good luck on your journey.

This is inspirational to me. I have the same stats as you and I'm being sleeved 4/8. What advice do you have? What's your exercise routine like? :)

My best advice is to stay positive and patient. She how your body reacts to being sleeved and learn your weight loss pattern. If you know how your body loses you will be less likely to get discouraged. Don't compare yourself to anyone else. I'm working on the whole exercise thing ;-)

When I do exercise I jog for 30 mins on the treadmill and then do 20 minutes of stationary bike with sit-ups and squats. I do have some skin sagging of my inner thighs and I would love a Tummy Tuck (I had an unforgiving twin pregnancy!) Good luck!!!

        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.

      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
