Finally broke into the 220s!



Recommended Posts

I've been stuck in the 230s for almost 2 months. Although I've lost inches and a size, I pretty much weighed the same. Since I'm on summer vacation I decided to really focus on exercising daily and being more aware of my eating habits. A few times I actually worked out twice a day. I started doing Zumba and really enjoy it so if I miss a class I actually get bummed! Very strange! ;)

I'm starting to be able to fit into some size 16s. My goal before I go back to work in about 2 1/2 weeks is to lose 5 more pounds or 60 pounds total, which would put me at 223. My 6 month surgiversary is coming up in a few days and I have to say that I am ecstatic with my results. I am very happy I chose the plication!

Take care,

Jenn,

That is wonderful that you have finally gotten pass your hump. My Fitness trainer tells me that I may need to shock my body again. Like do some different exercises, go longer than normal or cut something from my diet ( for me is an occasional ice cream). I was thinking about starting Zumba at the Gym too, Its looks fun!

I've gone to class now about 10 or 12 times and I'm finally starting to get it. I figure as long as I'm still moving around I am losing weight! :)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
