Where do I stop...goal weight related....



Recommended Posts

Rough day for me today...my friend's husband said I look anorexic and someone else said I look like I have cancer or something. What the heck. I'm 5'2" and weigh 133. That should not be too thin. I am trying to stop losing and am eating more. If you don't have something nice to say to someone just keep your lips zipped! Sent from my iPad using VST

Ignore them. They are used to seeing you FAT! People don't have a clue what they let come out of their mouths! I say you look great! It takes a while for our "faces" and bodies to catch up to our WL also. Carry on. Or say, " you know, I think you could stand to lose a few pounds." :)

That is rude and mean! They probably just arent used to seeing you thin. Maybe it came off your face making you seem thinner??? Sometimes it takes a bit for the shape to reditribute. I lost my initial chunk of weight sorta fast but getting to a normal BMI has been very slow so I havent had that happen. Nobody thinks I am too thin. I wasnt sure it was a compliment tho when the guy I date said something like "nobody likes model thin; its better to fill out your shorts with a curve like you do". Hmmm...I think he told me I am still fat as I was climbing on my bike this summer..haha At some point we have to be content and pleased with our weight and bodies no matter what others say or think.

Um, he is not a "keeper!" Hahahaha.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
