Great progress. You look AWESOME (especially the SMILE)! I'm 7 weeks out and almost 40 lbs down but still can't see it in my photos. I took a picture this weekend in my bathing suit showing my terrible hips, thighs, and knees and really wanted to cry. The only thing that stopped me was the posts from people further into the journey than I am, posts like yours with the awesome photos...these are the encouragements that help me with my patience and realistic goal-setting. Thanks so much for sharing!

Thx!! I think I'm a slow loser because its not as fast as others. It's gotten so bad I rarely weigh myself now... I just let the inches fall off. 11 weeks and I've only lost abt maybe 35 lbs. but I started @ 264, and I'm 5'8. I feel great though!! I feel lighter already! Lol

I think slow loss might just be a good thing. Your skin has a chance to tighten up better that way. Like you said if the inches are coming off that's all that matters. The scale is slow too!! :)

Looking great! I think the part where you say you feel lighter is what is most important. Numbers on a scale are just that, numbers. I totally believe the best way to judge your success is how you FEEL! The better you feel, the more successful you are....Congrats and much future success!!!

        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
