Pre 404lbs

Now 187lbs

Wow 217lbs gone

6'3"

I wanted to see how thin I could get' date=' 174lbs was the thinnest.. All my family was more scared then when I was big. Now my heavy family members & friends treat me different in a bad way. Some relationships have died completely.[/quote']

I know how you feel. Ahhh, my family isn't supportive at all with WLS but at 5'4 and 270 pounds it's more important for me to be ok with my life. I was told I should weigh 120 I will do all I can and see what happenes

I have now lost 86 lbs of the 125 lb target. I now only have 39 more lbs to go. When I look at my before pics compared to now, I absolutely can't stop laughing...I can now admit that I was HUGE!!!!! But 61/2 months ago you couldn't tell me that I wasn't the hottest thing smokin'! and for some reason that makes me bust out in laughter!!! People tell me that I look happier now. That my facial expression has changed....more approachable now. I'm so friggin' happy with this weight loss!!!!!!

Panda I'm the same way. I have always been over weight but I've never had low self esteem. I look at some of my old pictures and say wow. Lol. I'm down 78 pounds with about 40 more to lose. Starting weight was 297. Today I am 219. Surgery was April 23, 2012.

Ditto here - 4th preop (of mandatory 6) today AND this week I scheduled my last 2. I am getting excited.

I'll probably be surgical in the spring - ill do whatever it takes to be sooner but am resolved if it's spring.

I'm down 70 pounds and stalling :(. I was hoping to be under 200 by thanksgiving, but doesn't look like that's going to happen.

Ok, I'm jumping in also..

I am 3 weeks post-op Laproscopic / 18 days post-op Revision. Follow that? Obviously I had troubles. One out of a million? Yep, I got the lotto ticket & had to have issues!

Anyway, my beginning wt prior to surgery was 223#. I am only 5'0".

Today I weighed in at 189.5. OMG!! 33 # down, and I'm still recuperating -got the ok for walking, but haven't done much.. Low BP keeps me tired & lightheaded. Plus I came home from the hospital with double pneumonia. Walking @ home, keeping busy, still guarding my belly from anything that moves.

I haven't been 189.5 since I don't know how long!!

Watching the weight just melt off (literally!) blows my mind. A pair of jeans I bought years ago have not fit me practically since I bought them! Today I found them, tried them on... Slick! Like they were made for me!

Anyone else just baffled at the pounds melting??

Well I had my surgery 8/12

sw: 277

cw: 227

gw: 175

Through my journey I decided not to weigh myself. My doctor did not put me on a modified diet, he just said eat everything in moderation. At first I was like yepee, now I kinda regret not having restrictions because I found myself slipping back into old behaviors. Today, I decided I must take control and set limits. Although I've lost a significant amount of weight I still have those bad behaviors. New Beginnings for me as of today...

      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.
