Officially hit the 100 pound weight loss mark this morning! Couple this with fitting into a size 13 JUNIORS yesterday, I'm one pretty stoked lady! Started pre-op diet at 257 at the beginning of August, had surgery 9/25/12 at 237 got on the scale this morning at 157! Surgeons office scale has slightly different numbers but I go off my own scale. Six more to go to surgeons goal, nine more to mine. Had six month post op appt last Friday and was told again I am doing as well as a by-pass patient.

Now comes the hard part of hitting goal and surviving summer vacation (I'm a teacher) including three weeks in Wildwood (beach in NJ) and a short cruise in August. Bathing suit and clothes shopping has been so much fun! Best thing I've ever done for myself!

100 pound weight loss mark this morning!

Barisaxylady

100 lbs loss!!!!!

best thing i've ever done for myself!!!

"you" look great, inspiring, wonderful et al

ya da ya da ya da!!!

thats all i ever hear!!!!

good reason, its alllll true :D

gotcha :D

did you really think i was "yelling"?? :D

you have done terrific :)

worried about maintaining et al??? (understandable, common concern)

the day i/you/we stop worrying about eating/drinking properly IMO is the day we get in trouble!!! :blink:

you just must keep doing what you have been doing

being successful with your Water, Protein, eating slowly - you know the drill

i'm sure that after all the hard work you've done these past 6 months - you are not gonna mess up now

eating a "couple" of things you wouldn't normally eat, couple things not totally Kosher - welllll....on a vaca you have a "little" room to maybe "explore" - but do your best not to stray "too much"

but i know you wouldn't dare overdue - you've come too far - and you are lookin' HOT!!! B) :)

back from vaca, get totally back to normal - you'll be great!!!

we are "told" how much money we will save on not eating out often

but we are now spending our "savings" with shopping!!!

oh well its a dirty job but...... :D

have fun buying your swimming suits, other clothes for your great trip

btw - if you have some extra space in your suitcase for a friend??? :)

I don't take up much room :lol:

congrats girlfriend

Congratulations!! Great job! I was also glad to hear that you are spending 3 weeks in Wildwood, NJ. My favorite place in the world! Grew up in south Jersey and spent every vacation of my life there. Have fun!

      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
