My update 357lbs to 233



Recommended Posts

Life has been tough very tough for me since surgery. I found out my husband was cheating on me and walked out on me two weeks or so after surgery (aug 22, 2012)I then moved out of my parents because they werent very supportive and then hit depression and was diagnosed with major depression and then met a wonderful guy who I dated for two months but broke up because I found out he had a baby on the way. We keept seeing eachother and I just found out im pregnant 2 days ago. Im very scared. This would b my first child and hes not wanting me to keep it but I have strong beliefs about abortion so thats not a option for me. Im worried that after all my hard work I might gain a lot of weight and not be able to hit my goal weight...im sooo proud of my success but now feel like it was all for nothing. My starting weight was 357 and im at 233 today :) my surgery date was aug 18, 2012.

You are quite the beauty. Children are a true blessing you will likely lose the weight fairly quickly especially if you chose to breastfeed. So sorry that you have gone through all this turmoil but i hope your are stonger and more confident having weathered the storm.

We all take our path things dont always work out in the order they should for.me it was single mom college another kid college marriage college two more kids graduate kid now i have my business and am truly happy. Honestly i thing god puts us through these trials so that we can appreciate the true things that come from it. You can handle anything that you put your mind too and although we make mistakes along the way you just gotta keep trying and though your parents might be upset with you they will likely come around thats what unconditional love is. You will know this when you meet your baby its an amazing kind of love that is overwhelming.

Wow!!!

you've lost 124 lbs

amazing - good for you

beautiful pictures :)

sorry you are dealing with many personal problems :(

there is a pregnancy site on the board

i've heard and seen many people in your situation

you could/should talk to them

i've heard many comments from other "preggo's ;) , and they gained some healthy necessary weight for the baby

but they were successful with taking the weight back off

wishing you well, hopefully things will gradually work out :)

good luck

keep up the good work

kathy

congrats

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
