YES! I met my goal..and I've lost 100lbs since my surgery in September. I'm beyond thrilled :) So is my doc. He was grinning like the Cheshire Cat yesterday at my appointment!

Thank you for the kind words! I'm now going to start weighing only once a month...so no more weekly check-ins beginning in March. I was starting to see a bad habit forming of weighing more than once in the week and stressing over the numbers...it's not about the numbers for me. So, bye-bye scales.

Happy Thursday to you all!

You may not have lost 100 but I don't think the word "only" belongs in front of a 75 pound loss my dear. That's incredible!! It's very easy to catch ourselves minimizing how much we have lost when comparing to others. I have caught myself doing it from time to time. Great job!!

I don't know what's happening, but I keep gaining and gaining. I had a fill about two weeks ago. The first three days, I lost 5 pounds. I was sooooo happy! A few days later, I'm up the 5 pounds I lost plus two more pounds. That's unbelievable! How can I gain 7 pounds in less than a week? Even at my highest weight of 206, I NEVER gain more than two pounds a week. What the heck is going on?

Have you started a different workout regiment or is it that time of the month? We all have fluctuations that drive is crazy. Try to keep doing what you know is right and I'm sure it'll fall off.

Name, real or screen~readysetgo612 Goal weight for February 28th~ 204 Weight on February 1st~212 Age~38 City/State~Brooklyn my Dietary goal for February~more veggies Exercise goal for February~more toning/weightlifting in the gym Personal goal for February~continue on my positive journey in life Date banded~7/1/13 Total weight loss since banding/pre op diet~80 lbs Do anything special for Valentine's day?~ unfortunately my initial plans are canceled and back to being single so I plan on cooking a great healthy dinner and having my single friends over refuse to be sad that who I thought was me wonderful was just the opposite .. Picking myself n moving forward ...

Stayed the same 211. Didn't met my weight goal but my body is definitely looking leaner. Onederland I will get there slow and steady. Guess my body is slowing down with the weightloss but I will continue on my journey knowing this plateau will pass eventually I'm more than halfway to my goal 83 down 60 to to go. Definitely a different person physically and mentally from this time last year so it's a win this month as well

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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
