Sleeved 03/24. Down 67 lbs and 13 lbs to my goal. Much slower now and I'm finding I am able to eat a little more than before so I have to really pay attention and make sure I use smaller plates etc.

Yea I ate a whole grilled chicken sandwich the other day. Surprised me. I need to back off of the junk I'm eating.

@@heav85 Sucks to already be having issues. Old habits are so hard to break - continue to be aware and work on it.

You can do it!!

The Last picture is a little old (from September) but I'm only 3 lbs away from my goal. I'm in a size 11. I'm really happy where I'm at and wouldn't care if I lost the last 3 lbs! :) Very proud of all of us. Way to go!

Well...I'm nervous to say, but in a very determined way my surgery date is March 22 at 11am!!! My bday is the 6th so I turn 30 then 2 days later start my journey. I start my 2 week liquid diet which I really need a buddy to keep sane or buddies!!!! I'm starting off nearly 390 lbs and about a 56 waist in polo jeans I'm border line diabetic and high cholesterol with bad legs lets cross our fingers and pray that after following my meals and good exercise as a dad of 2 super awesome kids my boy 4 and my girl at 7 months at 31 my next birthday I will be a bit healthier and here to stay a lot longer for these kidos!!!! And I wanna be ridiculously good looking again lol #bluesteel

A year ago today, my life changed... call it a second chance. I want to give a huge shout out to the wonderful People at A Lighter Me, for making this change possible... I am still about 15 pounds from my goal weight, but feel with a little extra effort on my part, those pounds will fade away, as well!!! I also want to wish a Happy Surgiversary to my surgery sisters and brothers, who share today as the day their lives were changed! And to all those, waiting to have surgery or having had surgery recently.... it is life changing!!! Enjoy the experience, take notes, take pictures and soon the metamorphosis will be complete!!! Happy March!!!

      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.
