173 this week. I gained two pounds after eating Christmas treats for two days. Overall I am pleased with just the two pounds gained. Before holiday eating would have completely derailed any healthy eating/diet plan and I would have continued to eat unhealthy and gain even more weight. Now after my weight loss surgery I know I can start today fresh and go back to my low carb high Protein diet easily. I love my sleeve. Hoping next Friday I will have dropped these two pounds and will have lost another two.

Officially in Onederland! Yay! I couldn't believe it when I got on the scale this morning considering I didn't eat perfect this week but I'll take it! Merry Christmas and I hope your grandson is doing better Susan!

My scale is broken!!! I got on it this morning and it said 140. Oh but I am doing the happy dance ????????. I was so afraid to get on it because I just knew it had gone up from all of the snacking I did for the Holidays (although I didn't eat any goodies on Xmas, strange). I made my holiday goal! Yay me, Yay me! Now I have to work on keeping the scale going downward. Still need to get to 130 to reach my surgeon's goal. Then maybe even 125.

Happy Friday everyone. And I wish you all a Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

I will be updating the spread sheet on Sunday night. Had to travel to Michigan because my grandson was in the hospital. He came home today.

Sending prayers and hugs for your grandson.

Met my goal for this challenge this morning. 269.4 I was hoping for quicker losses, but as long as the scale is moving in the right direction, I will take it. Merry Christmas everyone!

      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. 🤞
