Anyone 8 weeks out? How are you feeling? How's you're weightloss going? I hit a stall at 40 lbs down. I'm staying calm and trying to work through it! Here's my success so far. Sorry about the crazy hair! This was a few weeks ago. Can't wait to get down some more!

Same here! Well the energy party. I'm in sunny California so the weather is no excuse for me lol great job on the 37 pound mark! Do you have any restriction? I'm pretty much able to eat anything. But sugar makes me queasy. Which is a great thing! But sometimes I miss it!!

I am in Michigan and it's been so cold here, enjoy your sun!

As of today I down 39.2 lbs, :-) I have no restrictions but not everything goes down well. I haven't attempted anything sugary. I use to get heartburn from sweet treats which is no fun.

I'm 8 weeks out as of yesterday. Starting to become part of regular life. I've lost 40 pounds and have gone from a waist size 42 to 36 (which is like going 15 years back in time). I feel great, sleep well, no complications whatsoever. I have eaten too fast twice and was pretty uncomfortable for about 30 minutes each time. Now I try to choose foods that go down better, which isn't that hard.

Life is so much easier now..........

Love to hear everyone's stories. I am 8 weeks as of today and down 40lbs and feeling pretty great. I had a stall at around six weeks which was discouraging but I know it's part of the process. I am able to tolerate pretty much anything. Still learning on eating slow though. Here is my progress this far :

My kids are happy with the mommy I'm becoming. I hate looking at old pictures of myself. I can see the sadness in my eyes. It's weird and uncomfortable!

      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
