Thanks. I am happy with the progress I've made. I do feel though now I am on the other end of being judged. Not for being too big now, but people judge me now for being so small. Weird I never thought I'd feel like I was too small but even the nutritionist I saw was looking at my arms telling me I was just skin and bones.

Do you mind if I ask what what was your starting weight??

I have bypass scheduled for this Wednesday. I am 5 ft 205 lbs. I have this same fear. I don't want to look sick either.

Although I don't believe you look bad at all.

My starting weight was actually 229. I actually was feeling better about myself and weighed about 15lbs more when I was working out. I've promised myself that I'm going to start back at the gym within this week. Hopefully I will gain my weight back. :)

You look good. Your body has had a major change. Don't worry about what other people think. Some people will criticize no matter what you do. Let's face it....some are jealous also. You are getting healthy, you look good. BE HAPPY ! I've lost from 247 to 170 with 25 more lbs to go....to reach my goal weight. I look and feel so much better. I too have had negative comments about me, about the surgery.

Thank you :) Actually it's been a long time since I've been on this app. I have since started to work out for bodybuilding shows. I've increased my weight to 125 and put on some nice muscle now. My body fat % ranges between 16-18% during the off season and for the show I'll be down to 8-10%. Amazing how life has changed.

      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. 🤞
