Thanksgiving Challenge



Recommended Posts

I joined the challenge when it was first started and I didn't see my name on the spreadsheet. start date 11-1 weight 218. Maybe I over looked it but I sure didn't see it.

Hi Irs...to keep the sheet "clean" I usually hide the rows that show people that haven't reported in yet. Once they report in, I make those rows visible again. Your name was on the sheet, but was hidden. You should be showing up now. Thanks (and congrats on your loss this week!)

P.S. I think it's AWESOME that you figured out how to get a ticker in your signature. I tried 1) using the tickers built-in here--there are no working images; 2) using a TickerFactory ticker--my profile page says I can only use a minuscule 250 wide image; 3) removing the image altogether from my signature so I lose that stupid "image missing" logo--no matter what I try, the site automation puts the darn thing back every time. I believe myself to be relatively intelligent and tech-savvy, so you KNOW I'm impressed when someone else figures out a work-around that works. AWESOME! LOL!

      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.
