I love the way I look and feel



Recommended Posts

Regardless of the cause of the beginning of a heart problem - weight never makes it easier, so maybe you've eased the complications... no, I don't think shooting yourself in the foot is necessarily strange. I think we all do it.

The fact that you said, you love the way to look and feel answers your questions. From my experience, there were weights I felt great at and weights that I felt uncomfortable in my skin at. I felt amazing at 160 and a size 10 not so great at 145 as an 8. Your body will guide you, if you want to go lower, than try it out if not, don't worry because you love the way you look and feel.

Some people just wear their weight well! At 220, you looked great! Now you're even 17 pounds lighter!

I'm 5'7" & my goal is 150 but truthfully, I think that would be too skinny. If I get down to 165, I'd be grateful & happy. Like you, I've always worn my weight well...

Good luck to you!

I also am learning to love myself.. I agree, each person wears their weight differently.. I just hit 199. My highest weight 350 my lowest I can remember around age 14 was 180, but I was a size 16 then... It is so weird 3 kids later and I am now a size 12/14... Even bought a 10 yesterday and it fit... I keep thinking my bones have to be made of lead... My goal weight for myself was 175.. I am 5'8. Dr never set a goal just said "keep with the program" when first discussed WLS I said, 180 was my goal and his nurse said very doable...

      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. 🤞
