So happy with my progress! It seems that a lot of people are losing weight faster than I am but I'm happy with it. I've lost 46 pounds since 4/15/13. I had to buy some new clothes because the old ones just look way too big. I even bought a cocktail dress for a party next week and I bought it in...wait for it...the REGULAR SIZE SECTION OF THE STORE!!! Who was a happy girl when that zipper went all the way up? ME ME ME!!!

Can't wait to get into regular pants.

Haven't lost any weight in a while but my boobs are rapidly going. I'm amazed how no weight loss but can equal inches.

I'm losing boobs way to fast

The psychological effects of the scale are amazing...I weighed myself today while changing my scale from kgs. to lbs. Up 5 lbs since yesterday, and all of a sudden I feel like the grossest, fattest person on earth. Like I'm never going to lose weight, much less get to onerdeland, much less my goal weight! Yucky feeling. I really need to weigh only once a week!

scales are evil!! I think they are of the devil. I haven't lost but 2 in weeks but clothes falling down. How are your clothes fitting? I haven't measured in awhile but in the mindset I should versus use my scales

The logical part of my brain tells me that either the scale is wrong or it's Water weight. The emotional part of my brain tells me I'm a fat pig. I'm wearing the same shorts I did yesterday, and they fit fine....oh wait...duh! I had minor surgery yesterday and got a bag of fluids...maybe that's it.

I'm sure it's fluids. U are doing great and have been inspiring to me. I was just thinking about u to ask u a question when I saw u had posted here. I love all your recipe ideas and your talking about the zucchini lasagna inspired me to try it. Any lentil recipes? I've never had them in my life so I'm looking for something I might like

Don't be tough on yourself u are amazing woman!!!

Thank you for your kind words...

I do make lentil Soup, but it's kind of a pain as the lentils have to be soaked, rinsed, picked. 1 lb lentils-Then you saute two chopped carrots, two celery stalks, 1chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic in a little olive oil. When onions are translucent, add 2 quarts chicken broth, 1 cup seeded, chopped tomatoes, and lentils. Add 1/2 t. Cumin and 1/2 t. Coriander. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 40 minutes or until lentils are tender. Then puree soup with a hand blender until it's as thick as you want. Add salt and pepper to taste.

1 cup has 186 calories, 4 g fat, 12 g Protein, 10 g Fiber

We all have days like this! I know I for sure do! Went shopping with my daughter and every mirror made me cringe! Even though ive done well and feel better, I see every roll and bulge. My daughter said she couldnt see what I saw, and that I needed to get out of that mindset. It will probably be with us forever since we were once so big.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
