Officially in Maintenance!



Recommended Posts

Went to my primary Dr yesterday and he agrees with my wife that I should stop losing weight and go into maintenance.

After 11 months it's hard to switch gears as losing weight has become such a major focus of my life.

But I'm grateful to be at this point and intend to work hard at successfully maintaining.

(Andrew0929 said: I am getting close and finding those last pounds much more difficult to remove. This is of course causing me added concern about the maintenance phase. Will my weight stay off...??? How easily will I put weight back on?

By all means, do not bail on us now that you're there. Please visit and keep us posted on the methods you develop to maintain your weight and any pitfalls to avoid along the way.

I have a feeling this forum and others experiences will be even more important and helpful for maintaining, then it already has been for losing. Thanks. ;)

Oh, I almost forgot......Kuddos to your great success. Keep up your fantastic accomplishment :)

      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. 🤞
