6 months - 40 lbs - 4 sizes - 1.5 hrs in the gym 4 times/week



Recommended Posts

Yesterday it was my 6 month anniversary, 40 lbs lighter and so much healthier. I have going down from size 3x to size XL in tops and from size 24 to size 16P in pants. I am not diabetic anymore, and my heart beat has gone down from 115 bpm to 78 bpm. My cholesterol in way below normal levels and I am only taking one prescription, as a precaution only. When I did my stress test last year I was only able to walk 3 minutes in the treadmill, now I do 30 minutes treadmill (3miles), 15 minutes bicycle (2 miles) and then I do weights for 45 minutes ( arms, legs and torso). My husband is really happy with my new body, my breast has gone down but my butt is coming rounder. I don't miss any food, I can pretty much eat everything I want but I choose not to. My band had reject a couple of things that I use to love, like Pasta, pizza, mushroom, bread, Chinese food but I don't see it as a bad thing, I see it as a blessing. I have to confess that I have my weaknesses (Cheetos cheese puff and Chewy caramel) but I will work on it. Also I love honey BBQ Sauce because it help me in having my food come down and oatmeal with fruit!

My band has been a blessing in my life!

      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. 🤞
