Today, 3 days short of being two months out from Surgery (4/2), I am officially lighter than I have been in 25 years, and I'm very, very happy...

This has been an extraordinary journey so far. Sometimes far more difficult, sometimes far easier than I had ever imagined. So far, very, very worthy of the trip.

Tuesday of this week, I treated myself to a new set of shirts, and a couple of pairs of pants, each of which were two sizes smaller than I've worn forever...

Have a great day everyone.

Wayne

Anyone eating watermelon? I'm obsessed with it right now. I'm eating it and almost nothing else. I know I'm supposed to do my Protein first.. I'm going to do better!

I am loving watermelon right now. It satisfies my need to drink while I am eating

Hi. Well not sure what is happening now. I am 7 weeks post op. I am still trying to read my full and hunger signs. The last few days every time I eat I get the heaves. I am also at a weight stand still. I haven't lost anything in almost a week. I am at about 35 lbs. Has this happened to anyone? What did you do?

I have lost around 43, but then I fluctuate and will go up 3 lbs the next day. Of course I'm still weighing everyday. I am also having a hard time understanding my hunger bc I will get hunger pains right after I eat.

Congrats to EVERYONE!!!! We are all doing so well:):)

I officially hit my 40lb loss mark and currently weigh 224.2!! When I started I was 264!!! My surgery was 4/23...downside is that none of my clothes fit and I feel like I am stalling...my weight has been fluctuating by 3-4 lbs for about a week now when I was losing 1-2lbs per day:/

My pouch is the weirdest thing to get used to...everything my NUT told me that I would do well with I yack up and things like nuts, straws, grains and cheeses (even melted) go down NO PROBLEM. I can't seem to eat much chicken at all, no matter how it's cooked:/ 1 or 2 bites and I am uncomfortably full:/ but on the other hand, my mom slow cooked a brisket on Memorial Day and I ate about half a slice (probably 1-2oz) with A1 and a tbs of light mashed potato salad. The brisket practically melted in my mouth though. Also, I find it much easier to drink with a straw and my doctor told me that I could:)

I just don't want to get depressed about my loss slowing down, and that's starting to REALLY get to me:/ I am attaching a picture of my self taken the day of the surgery and the next one was taken just a couple days ago:)

That's awesome Jess!! You are doing great and you look great!! I'm proud of your success!!!

My weight loss is a little slower than yours but I'm so proud of all of us!!

It has been a struggle and some days are better than others!! I'm still not 100% glad I had the surgery, but it's much better than it used to be.

What kind of things have you been eating?

      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.
