In August I had a health scare and I wasn't supposed to exercise. Needless to say this made me slack off a bit :( Now I am trying to get back on track. I joined this group today to see if I can get motivated again for the new year!

I am down 98 lbs so far. It feels great. I started in a size 26 and just bought a size 14 last weekend. I can't remember ever being this size and feeling this good!! Exercising 4 days a week.

I am feeling good :) I wish I had more motivation to exercise though I think once I start back with that I will start dropping more weight I have been within the same 10 pounds for 5 months now so it is really frustrating. Everyone says I look like I have dropped weight recently but the scale isn't showing it and I'm not seeing it. Overall so so so happy I did this :)

Hi all. I am doing well but feeling a little down. I haven't seen my Dr in about a month because I have restriction but I am still hungry. Been up and down 3 to 4 pounds for the last several months. Lost around 60 lb since my lap-band placement on April 4, and about 20 from the pre op diet for a total of 80 so far. I've been at a plateau for about 3 months now. I was hoping my Doctor would start back up with Support groups, but after 4 months without, they finally updated the Facebook page with.....Sorry I haven't updated in a while, we just got a NEW doctor and another to start in April, and we will no longer be having Lap band support meeting. I feel like I have been dumped! Their were three meetings in total. I am very disappointed, to say the least.

      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.
