Hi! Well I started at 220 and now I've been stuck at 165 since January. I would love to be 155 but I am actually perfectly happy at 165. Plus I haven't been 155 since high school and that is over 20 years ago! I have to admit that I am still really scared that the weight will come back because I have been fat and skinny, now, 5 times. But hopefully by having the surgery it will eliminate this.That is my hope.

I'm 5'8" and was 237 starting my pre-op diet in January. Surgery day 2/4/13 I was 223.5. Today I am 200.2. This is my lowest weight in 9 years! Hope to keep losing 10lbs. a month. Believe it is do-able with exercise. (Thank you Jillian Michaels!)

Goal weight is 145 (college weight). It's been 20 YEARS since I have weighed in the 140s.

The weight is becoming less important to me than my fitness and how my clothes are fitting. Those are more exciting measures to me than a number on the scale.

I'm 5'4", started at 320 lbs and now at 185 lbs (goal weight is 135 lbs). I have not been this weight since I was 17 yrs old (now 43). I can't even tell you how many inches I've lost right now (my charts are at home and I'm at work), but I started with a 54" waist and now I have a 36" waist........

I'm 5'7". Starting weight was 251 and am at goal at 165. Took 9 months to get there. My original goal was 150, but I am very happy where I am and think I would look way gaunt any thinner. My doctor, family and friends agree.

I like how I look in my clothes, I just try not to dwell on how I look naked :blink:

I was 5'7", but at my pre-op apt they said I was only 5'6". wish I could shrink the width rather than height. anyway my surgery was Jan 21, 2013. weighed 232. as of today I weigh 204. 28 pounds total lost. 15 the first month, 10 the second month and only 3 so far the 3rd month. I'm really, really frustrated.

I'm 5'8" and my highest weight ever was 275 in 2010. I was sleeved on 3/25/13 and weighed 246 and now I'm at 235. My initial goal is 175, and will re-evaluate when I get there. I think I will probably reach for 155 (I'm 44).

I'm just under 5'7". My high weight was 255, weight on surgery day was 252, current weight (as of this morning!) is 234. I'm thrilled with 18 lbs lost in two weeks, since surgery was 3/28/13.

I haven't done measurements yet, but am going to try to do them tonight. I didn't do pre-op measurements but have them from two days post-op at the nutritionist's office.

      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.
