I see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Today i hit 154 pounds which puts me in the normal weight range for my hight (5'6")... i went over my doctor's weight goal for me

which was 160 pounds for my body frame (i have thick bones).

Only 9 pounds till i hit goal, but what if i go below 145 pounds? i am afraid am going to keep losing and look sick. I am almost 6 months out and by one year out i might be 130 pounds or less who knows :)

9 pounds sound so easy... hopefully i will get there by 7 months out!

Good luck everyone, and keep up the good work... This has both negatives and positives but as i was told yesterday, i should be very happy and grateful and not complain.

Thank god for everything he has given to me and helped me go through!

Your doing terrific! I'm 10 months out and about 10 lbs from goal. My body is content here. After a 3 month stall, it has finally started to move again. I have read where a few people have continued to lose after meeting their goal, and had to up their calories. I don't believe that I will be one of those people, cause my body likes the cushion...Good luck and God Bless!

I am so happy to see these posts. I will be 10 months out in a few days too and still have ??10-15 more pounds to lose. I have also been in a stall for 3 months and am kinda shocked by how much I can eat sometimes!!

I know it is not "too much" as I am not gaining weight but it seems to be just enough to maintain!

I feel very happy to be where I am at but a few more pounds would be nice! It is no longer falling off and I can see that I will really have to work on it to see these last pounds go!

I think I will step up the exercise and see how it goes!!!

Thanks for making me know that I am not alone!

Good luck hun, you can do it! 10 pounds are nothing compared where you were before! sometimes a stall is good a body needs time to adjust and tighten, i have been through a lot of these <3

No hun you are not alone! we are all on the same boat! You can do it and reach goal, just work hard towards it... I have been lucky to lose weight without exercising (cause m overseas and gyms here are not as good) all i do is walk, but i will be back home by next week and ill sign up for a gym forsure!

      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
