NSV I finally see myself as changing!



Recommended Posts

I am down 43lbs 211-168 in 3 months...day to day I struggle to see changes! My belly is not changing but everywhere else is, this is depressing bc while I am down a size or two I could be down more if I was proportionate! This leads me to feel like I'm stuck! I have been stalled for a few weeks losing very little(maybe 1-2lbs) but today I had an AHA moment when I saw this selfie! I have another 55lbs to lose but hurray for changes even if it's just my face :P

you wait.. you think you're disproportionate and then the next day BOOM! You've dropped inches on the bit you thought was bigger than the rest. I've found the whole process (and I am far from completing it), most amusing!

Enjoy! You're looking great :)

Thanks guys it's so exciting!! I'm amidst a rough patch in life my Aunt was very sick and I was able to fly up from VA to NH to spend some awesome time with her a few weeks ago and she was doing great, getting around, I even got to color her hair, my Mom left a few days later than me and she was doing even better then, but sadly 5 days later she took a bad turn and she passed away last Saturday! We are back in Nh for the services(yesterday and today) and ironically I was taking the pic to show a friend that figures my hair came out good amidst a blizzard which would kill it for sure lol! But anywho it's been an emotional and physically exhausting month, I'm looking forward to getting back home and putting my concentration back into things and actually just got released to go to the gym again(I had an enlarged spleen, still do) I wouldn't trade this craziness for the world tho, I got spend time with someone who meant the world to me and I know she was proud of my weight loss when she saw me last! Thanks again for the kind words I can't wait for the belly fat to go, bc I am sick of IT!

Sorry about your loss. It is great that you got to be with her.

Belly fat acts like it can't be beaten. Reminds me of Clubber Lang in the Rocky movies. Down he went and down goes belly fat..8,9,10....Yo, Adrian...I did it!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
