My starting weight was 280 And 1 1/2 later I'm 160. I'm 20 pounds away from my goal and I'm starting to struggle so maybe looking at these pics will help me. I'm not struggling from food or exercise my body has hit its plateau and my hardest stall yet!!

I stuck to the diet and never cheated or ate anything I knew wasn't good for me. I didn't eat anything that said it had any kind of sugar or high fructose corn Syrup. I walked everyday for at least 30 minutes...just walked. ... I remember when the nurse asked me to set a long term goal I said 120. She told me I should try for something more reasonable like 160. I agreed but inside I knew I wanted to be 120 ( even though the last time I was 120 I was in elementary school ). I was determined. Determination can take you as far as you want to go.

Hey Karin

That is what I would like for my goal to be. Can you give me an example of your daily eating schedule. Maybe you can be my mentor??? How tall are you?

That is great! Ur right. I need more discipline for myself. U gotta have faith n a goal. I just get side tracted sometimes.

Hw: 406

Sw: 376

Cw: 346

Surgery: 8/26/13

I seem to be a slow loser so far, with a couple of stalls, but maybe my body needs more time to heal. Each time I have pushed myself farther physically (running around taking care of a friend and her kids, walking 3+ miles), I have had an incision open a little and have a little drainage. So I guess I'm still healing.

        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.

      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
