I'm fighting it bad today. I think it's hormonal and the fact that its my birthday and I didn't reach my personal goal of being under 200 is what has me down. I took the day off of work to go do stuff with my hubby and all I really want to do is have a good cry and maybe wallow in my misery. Gonna try to fight it. Sucks when people don't understand why you feel the way you do. Rationally I know I will get to my goal but the emotional part is in the driver's seat today.

Happy Birthday!!! I promise you will be there pretty soon! It will happen! Dont fret! Easier said that done right? Be encouraged though that this will be your LAST birthday over 200!!!! When you do hit the 200 mark, it will just be another day to Celebrate. Enjoy your day with your hubby!

Happy birthday! just think of all the great things this year has in store for you ~ you will blow your way past the 200 mark (to the left!) And leave all those grumpy hormones behind, right? Meanwhile, just inwardly him a few bars of Gloria Gaynor's "I will survive" to get you through the humps! :-)

Happy Birthday! I know the feeling but have your cry, pull up your big girl panties, and realize this is a journey and we are not always going to be right on our desired time! You will get there!!! I like Susie in Lima's advice... realize this is the last birthday over 200! That made my day!! LOL! Don't waste time being sad because if you are like me you have wasted enough of your life not being able to live!! Be happy and enjoy the journey! :D

      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
