Recommended Posts

I lost 20 stinking pounds. It's going on 2 months. I don't know if I'm expecting too much or what! But I thought it would have been more. My others fit like crap. I can't really go buy anything new bc I don't want to have to keep doing that. What to do.

My Dr. said 10 lbs. a month. It may not seem like much now, but that's 120 pounds in a year!

About the clothes: is there a consignment store or Value Village near you? Maybe you could find a few used things to get you by.

You are doing fine - have you ever lost 20 lbs on any other diet in 2 mos. ?? and kept it off. Your body needs time to adjust - then you'll lose more......

I shopped at Walmart, Khols and consignment shops. A year ago I was a size 18. Now I'm a size 2-4.

Thank you :)

I had the 3 butterflies tattooed over the surgical site from the sleeve. The vine tattoo across my belly is from a Tummy Tuck in 2007. I have not had any surgery since weight loss. You can't really tell in the pictures but I have loose skin in my arms and breast. My heaviest was 240. I was 215 on DOS. My weight is stabilized around 143.

Awwww thank you skinny girl :)

You will get to your goal. I remember reading posts and wishing I would lose weight quicker. But before I knew it, I was dropping sizes like crazy. That was the fun part, belting my larger pants ;)

      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.
