Loving good will these days! It takes forever to scan the racks but it is usually a payoff when I find several sizes to try on and some of them fit!

I scored a Lee brand pair with the 29.99 tags still on for 3.99! The other pair was a name brand too for 1.99. You cant beat that when hopefully I'll only be in them a very short time! ;)

I'm trying this so I'm so glad to see u posting this. I'm super slow loser..apr 30th was my surg date and I'm down 38lb..feel not so successful! I've forced myself to increase my intake all the way around hoping it boosts my loss. Crossing my fingers.

I had surgery the same day and am down about the same. I feel your pain. I am very paranoid I am failing. We have to just keep on keeping on.

That does make me feel a bit better tho thanks for telling me. I get paranoid I didn't have the same outcome or I'm failing etc when I see people raving about how well they have done. I'm trying :)

I had surgery on 4/8 and I'm also only down 38 lbs. I was a revision from the lap band and heard I might lose slower but at this point I feel like it won't ever come off.

I've only lost 32 lbs since surgery April 22. It blows my mind when i see those who have lost 50 - 70 lbs already. Gallbladder surgery is at 1:00 pm today.

I was on the lower end of the spectrum with my bmi I qualified with my comorbidities with a bmi of 37 day of surgery. I was heavier and managed to lose down to 213. All the fears and insecurities I think we have are pretty much the same. Is like we are desperately hoping and praying this works.

Yes I agree it's hard enough not to see the numbers I expected and then to see what other ppl are accomplishing. I am very happy and excited for them just wish I could report the same

You all will get there. I was at 358 when I started my two week pre op dt. For some the heavier we are the faster it comes off. I got your back!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
