I am about 11 months out. Had surgery June 5, 2012. I started at 256 and I weigh 140 today. My RA meds have been cut way down and I love fitting into a size 2. This soccer season i played 5 nights a week on 6 teams. i am planning on trying out for the police academy next month. Still working on gaining muscle at this point, but a broken ankle is making that hard.

The hardest thing to me is staying on track with Protein, and Vitamins. It seems when I get kicked off track it can be so hard to pull myself up and get back on the right path. Breaking my ankle through me off of my routine and therefore I have been slacking off.

Hey tammy... missed this post the first time around. Good to see you... you look awesome. I had surgery 15 months ago and am down 186 lbs. I am fluxuating between 156 and 154... but mostly stay at 154. My date of surgery weight was 340. I am seeing that alot of the ones that were on the boards way back when stop in every now and then.... I think we get so busy with our new active lifestyles that we rarely have time to stop in. I think this is a great support group and I really like helping others. So hopefully more of us oldies will start chiming in when the newbies have questions. We are all success stories... share share share!!!!

Congrats!! That is awesome. My surgery was April 1, I'm down 70 pounds but feel a little stuck right now. I guess it will start again when my body says so. Seeing how well people are doing further out is very inspiring to me! Way to go!!! Take care!!

      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.
