You look great!!! You can loose more by cutting out anything white in your diet. Stick to meats and lots of green veggies for about 10 days to reboot your metabolism. Keep up the great work :-). You must be on the tall side because u look like you lost way more than 91 lbs. Beautiful!!!

I had my surgery on January 7, so far I'm 91lbs down. For some reason I feel behind like I'm not doing well as I could or should be,bur her it is.

Hi Ready4....,

First off, congratulations. You look great! I hope you feel as good as you look. Your post brings me to something I have been contemplating since my own journey started 9 weeks ago. I think that so many of us detached from our bodies a long time ago, so as we are loosing weight so rapidly and starting a new relationship with our bodies, it is difficult to recognize our own accomplishments. I read daily on this forum people posting about how they have lost tons of weight, but who can't see it. It is really an interesting thing. I struggle with it too. I have lost 49 lbs, but I struggle to see it. I sometimes find myself focusing on the other 93 lbs I want to loose. I have to check myself mentally. I remind myself that I hadn't lost this much weight in 15 years and to be patient and to Celebrate my accomplishments. I would offer you the same....CELEBRATE your victory! Go buy a cute new dress and go dancing or do something to show off your great new body! No matter how far you feel you need to go, don't forget how far you have come! 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
