Hey I'm doing very well! Feeling great!! Tomorrow is actually 10 weeks and I'm down 51lbs!! Couldn't be happier with the progress. I like Montes and Glassnap but I decided to go with Montes. She made me feel the most comfortable. You going to Somerset or Springfield? You're not too far from where I am. I'm in Woodbridge.

Oh ok! You know the area!! Thanks for the kind words. I've been working really hard to keep the weight coming off. I'm in the process of trying to get into the police academy so I need to drop some more weight if I'm ever gonna make it through in 1 piece. So I'm back to the gym everyday making it happen. We can definitely chat if you'd like. I haven't gone to one that the doctors offer but I went to one in Clark that is done at the RWJ Fitness center. It was really nice. You would be more then welcome if yuppy wanted to join in. It's this sat the 3rd at 1030am. Lemme know if you wanna go and I'll email the leader for you.

Fantastic job!!! You have many wonderful things ahead of you.

Thank you very much!!! I can't wait for the future!!

      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
