Recommended Posts

Hi :)

I have posted pics here before but I took a new after photo yesterday morning so here it is.

I was sleeved 21st January 2013. My start and current weight are on the pics but I'll say in lbs for all you Americans haha.

Before 247lbs

After 162lbs

I'm about 20-30lbs from goal.

Thank you so much!!

A typical day would look like this:

Breakfast:

A lot of the time I skip Breakfast which is really bad but when I do eat it I have a piece of fruit or 1 boiled egg.

Lunch:

Shaved chicken or a can of tuna

Dinner:

Lasagna or chicken/beef/lamb curry

Snack:

Bowl of steamed veggies

I love to cook and try new meals, also trying healthy versions of things. I made a healthy nachos the other day and boyfriend and I both loved it.

As for exercise I'm training for a 14km run at the moment so I try to run 3 times a week. I also have a gym membership but I haven't been going :/

I need to start doing weights to tone up because as you can see my thighs and tummy are flabby.

When I'm bored or have nothing to do I will just make up a circuit, usually something like:

1 min plank

50 squats

20 push ups

30 leg lifts

30 star jumps

And repeat

Have you had your surgery?

Fantastic! You look like a different person! I was sleeved 2 months before you and still 15lbs till goal ... I'm finding the weight loss has really slowed now! Grrrr. Anyways you look great - not flabby at all as you mentioned, and you cant even see your scars at all!

Gee you looked great even before! I am so jealous you didn't have the upper and lower bellies! You must be really tall because i started at 98 kg and look nowhere near as gorgeous as you did when you started. And you look fabulous now too.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
