Ok so I have to admit I was really really discouraged at the slight stall I experienced this week. I didn't lose any weight all week!!! Grrr. In fact I gained 3.5 pounds when they pumped me full of IV fluids. But today I stepped on the scale and BAM down 3 pounds again. I guess all the walking and running around has paid off this week. I'm feeling so much better about myself and this surgery. So I decided I needed to go for a brisk walk. So I put on some new workout clothes I bought over a year ago and have never worn. And it fits!!! Plus my tummy has gone down quite a bit! While the scales aren't showing much progress. My body is. I just have to keep walking walking walking. Ill get there. So if any of you have been stalled or down this week stay strong you will get there. We are all in this together! Just take in all your fluids/protein and walk your worries away!!!

Wow, your current body looks like my goal body!! That is, you look great! I'm probably older than you and starting at a higher BMI (42/47) but I gotta say you look good! What was you start weight/surgery date?

Good luck to you!!!

Starting weight 208 current weight 190. I'm short and curvy so my weight distributes pretty well but I'm still very big for my height. It's just not as evident to others. I can't wait to get down to 135. I'm only 5'3".

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
