Congrats to you too!!! I know you had been stuck just outside of onederland for a while. And now check out that progress!! :D You're kicking butt. Did you faithfully maintain the same plan or did you make major adjustments? Whatever you're doing, it's working!

WOOHOO!!!! GO Ava! :DCongrats - that's fabulous news pretty lady. Revel in it today before worrying about anything else. Just enjoy. And you ARE fancy! :lol:

Kate

Awww! Thanks, Kate! I've pretty much been beaming for the past few days. And I even applied for a job in the obesity prevention and policy field.. I've been saying I "couldn't be happier", but I might actually explode if I get it! The person over hiring is out on vacation for the rest of year. Waiting is killer, but at least I can be excitedly hopeful through the holidays!

Check out this fanciness! The dress was $3.something from Goodwill. Why ever buy retail?? :P

I made my surgeon's goal this week. I'm currently at 135. I am so excited I want to stop strangers on the street and tell them.

I had set my Holiday Challenge goal a few pounds higher than my ultimate goal because I was afraid of failure. No more of that -- I would like to revise my challenge goal to 133. I might not make it because of my recent weight loss, but I'm going to work for it!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
