Ahh. I feel like a dummy lol. Way to go nonetheless. 74 is great for 3 months, too. Look good, keep up the great work. My weight on surgery day was 284. Now I'm 210. Goal weight is 165. I'm big boned, have a large frame. I'm 5'11. I may lower my goal weight but I don't want to look sick, if you know what I mean. My hometown already thinks I'm on crack because someone saw me home Memorial Day and I hadn't been home since Easter - right before my surgery- had lost close to 50 pounds if not more then. They told everyone I was on drugs lol. No one knows about the surgery but immediate family and hubby and they haven't told a soul. Small towns. Love em hate em. Keep up your fantastic work.

Sleeved April 29. Lost 58 pounds so far. My bigger fear is that I will weigh myself and not see a loss. So far so good. I am obsessed though.

I'm obsessed too. I need to hide my scale. I've made it a habit to weigh in every morning :( it doesn't bother me if I don't see a change the next day, but if a few days go by, I start to get frustrated. Learn from my mistakes: hide your scale!!

I was sleeved Apr 22 and have lost 57lbs so far. I was weighing myself daily and sometimes twice a day morning and night. Speaking with my dr yesterday she suggested once a week in the am with no clothes on. She said daily or more than once a day is not an accurate reading the body fluctuates Water retention throughout the day. For accurate reading once a week. So I am trying not to look at the scale. Great progress everyone. Lets all keep up the great weight loss.

It's funny how I used to avoid the weight scale at all costs, now I can't stay off it. :blink:

Sleeved April 8 2013, down 53 lbs.

A fellow bariatric surgery friend bought me a pair of size 10 jeans for my birthday and they bloody well fit me. What a fantastic birthday gift!

Haven't weighed myself in a couple weeks. I was at 210. Might be below 200 now. I hate getting on the scale. im afraid of disappointment. I do know that I am wearing a size 14 now. That's a far cry from a 24. :)

I want to do the c25k but I don't want to do it alone. I can barely get my husband to walk with me and he complains the whole time.

They have C25K music programs that can make the sessions not so lonely. I listen to a indie christian program so i don't have to look at my watch during my walk/jog intervals. Very cool!

Sleeved April 17th. Starting 256#. Today 187#. Started c25k 4 Wks after surgery. Tomorrow is my first race. I chose a 2 miler. It's a 4 mile relay my son and I are doing together. I'm very nervous to be running in front of a crowd. Also excited to see if I can push myself to finish!

      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.
