Check in day for me! I was 112.5 on the scale this a.m. same as last week, maintenance is good! Still haven't worked out much this week but am back in the pool doing laps. food choices have been much better this week! Now, if I could just get my exercise back on track and journal my food and Water....

My 2 year check up is end of next week. Kind of excited for my doctor to see me. Oh and I had someone today who never knew me when I wasn't bigger than 115 tell me I am so tiny and how much they admire the way I dress. It made me feel cute for the first time in 25 years. Seriously. :)

Good job! My weight is good this week too, I am at 120 which is the bottom of my zone. Exercise is saving me. My food choices have not been the best. Too much stress right now with my Mom still very ill. My son graduates from High School next Saturday. I love the dress I found! Can't wait to wear it!

New dresses are the best! I bought my first maxi dress. First because at 5'2" I always felt like a mumu when I was fat. I was thrilled to pull it off!!

Check in day for me!

I was 111.5 this morning, so right in my range. I started logging my food again but still not exercising like I should. I see my doctor and dietician early next week for my 2 year follow up and can't wait for them to see me! I had labs done today and while all the Vitamins aren't back yet, everything else looked perfect so far! I am just thrilled with this new me but don't want to take maintenance for granted. I still have my five lb window of 110 to 115 and as long as I am in that range I am in my zone. Maintaining is harder on me psychologically than losing was. Anyone else struggling with fears and doubts? I worry any slip could spiral me back to 267 lbs....

I had my 2 year follow up appointments today. Everything except my Iron was PERFECT! I was so excited for my doctor to see me. He prescribed iron pills and said not to take it with Calcium. Everything else was wonderful. I am so happy and thrilled to say I am maintaining and working this every day.

Great job to both of you! I have my 2 year on Wednesday. Ironically, I am too HIGH in Iron, something the doc says she very rarely sees. No Vitamins with iron for me. I am also low on Vitamin B 1, so I have added that to my daily routine. Otherwise blood work looked great. We will see what she says on Wednesday and I will let you know!

Great job! Any idea how your Iron levels are so high? I've always run on the low side of normal so wasn't shocked when it was low. My potassium runs on the low end too so I try and focus on potassium rich foods.

No idea why my Iron is high. Never was a problem prior to surgery. I feel fantastic so it can't be having too bad an effect. It will be interesting what I learn in the morning.

That is great! I knew something was up with me because I had such bad fatigue. I wasn't sire if it was B 12 or Iron so when iron was low it made sense. The nice thing is in the last week I've been seeing my energy come back. I can't wait to hear how your appointment goes!! :)

      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.
