Well' date=' I promised I would post this here first. The scale reported this morning that I have officially lost 100.2 pounds!! Feels great that I can FINALLY say I have lost 100 pounds instead of ALMOST 100 pounds!! I wanted the number for my 3 month yesterday, but the real goal was the end of the month, and that I did!

This weekend hubby and I are going away for a romantic weekend at a bed and Breakfast. Now we can Celebrate our 19 year wedding anniversary and my fist 100 pounds lost!![/quote']

Everyone at work keeps calling me Skinny Minnie. I can't wrap my head around it. They're all asking how much skinnier I'm trying to get! My 18s are too big and just less than four months ago I was pushing a 24!

It's probably kinda dumb, but the thing I keep looking most forward to for my future body, is wearing levis. Like plain old non-mom-jean jeans that I just pull on (without an elastic waist) button, zip and throw on a fitted t then walk out into society. I've watched women on tv shows and commercials do that for years and now I really seem to "want" that. I know, superficial - I should want to just be healthy or run 10 miles, or . . . . .

So my Nut told me that everyone that fails at Lon time weight loss added carbs back to their diet too soon and too much. I haven't had any bread, Pasta, rice ect since surgery. What about you all? Is your Nut as strict as mine?

I can't wait til I can walk into the Levi's store an buy some jeans. I can wear the levis from Macy's right now but I want to be able to buy them out of the Levi's store. When I hit my goal, I'm marching down Newbury st and spending like $300 on a pair of amazing jeans because I can finally fit into them. This is the reward I've planned to give to myself for hitting goal since I started this process.

I would say that my clinic's plan is about the most strict I have seen on here. Even after three months, I am only allowed one tablespoon of a starch per meal. AND if I choose a fruit or veggie, then NO starch. I am allowed 3 meals a day with no Snacks. The meals are only 1/4 cup, but I can now start working toward 1/3 cup meals, with the goal of 1/2 cup meals when I get to 6 months (but not BEFORE 6 months). I can start to add bread, pasta and rice back in, but again only one Tablespoon. It's tough because I see all the great stuff folks on here are eating, and I just have a piece of string cheese, and that's a meal!! But at least it's working!!

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

    • 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
