Your transformation is nothing short of AMAZING!!!!!!! How long did it take you to lose this much weight? You look very young. So smart to address this now. Any tips or advice for others to be successful? Have you had any cravings? Any temptation to cheat on your eating plan? Are you exercising? What type of exercise, if so? You should be so proud of yourself!!!!

I to have stabilized and you and I are about the same amount of time out from surgery. Some people look healthy they say that about me. Some people say you may look younger they say that about me also. But you had the most miraculous transformation. I hope that you feel as well as you look. I congratulate you on your journey.

Thanks!

Tips: well, I just follow the rules, eat real food, no more than 4oz at a time, Protein first, no bread/rice/pasta/potatoes, drink Water, and exercise. :)

Cravings? Minimal. I usually crave food that isn't "bad" for me... Like watermelon or Quest bars. And the few times I've given in to something I THOUGHT I wanted (like a french fry, or bite of a cupcake) it never seemed to taste as good as I remember. THANKFULLY.

And yes, I exercise quite a bit. I started with mainly cardio and light (5-15 lbs wts). But after losing weight I quickly realized that's not the body shape I was after. So I began lifting heavier weights 3-4 times a day. I still do some cardio, but not every day as I had been. I also go to yoga and BodyFlow classes a few times a week.

Bravo to you for posting the FABULOUS meal pics! That is the BEST visual for what we will be eating. I have been curious about types and quantities of food. This is SUPER HELPFUL!!!!

When you say "this is not the body you were after" what do you mean? Was your shape too "flabby", did you want more muscle tone, How is yoga helping you? Sorry for so many questions, but we are about the same starting weight and your information and pics have been SO HELPFUL!!!

I'm glad you find the photos helpful!!! That's what I was hoping for! :)

Not the body i was after: I felt too boney. I could see all my ribs in the mirror - it just wasn't a good look for me. I wanted a little more muscle and curves.

I first started yoga for a little strength.. But strength., flexibility, elongating muscles, relaxation/meditation.

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
