One year out and at GOAL!



Recommended Posts

My one year surgiversery was on 4-24. I have been at goal for about a week or two. I have lost over #130! I started at 297 and am now 165. At 5'7" I am right at a bmi of 25. I am normal weight!!!! I have not been this small since 18 and I am now 37. I am so happy and plan to have a Tummy Tuck with a breast lift and augmentation in September. Attached are my official before and after pics. The first pics are day of surgery and the last are today

Congrats! Well done on achieving your goal weight! Are u finding that u are still losing? or has weight loss stopped now? Curious as I am 6 months out and nearly at GW and I like to set myself goals :) ... was it hard to lose the last 20lbs?

Thank you! I lost 100 by 6 months and it tool the next 6 months to loose 30. It took me the last three months to loose about 15. So far I am working on maintaining but I won't know how successful I am until after Tom as most of my weight loss happens after that ever month.

Thanks all! I do feel great! I have lots if extra skin... My Bali cami does a great job hiding the skin. My arms aren't too bad but I don't think I will be wearing sleeveless too often. My stomach is really bad due to the weight, a set if full term twins and a third child. I can't wait for my tt in September!

      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
