I am in the same boat. My body really seems to like 168 and hasn't moved in a LONG time. I am walking 45 minutes a day and also go to a personal trainer. Not sure how long it will take me to get to goal....

I'm hanging in. Thinking I should make a visit to my nutritionist. I have no idea where I should be calorie wise.

11 Months today.
Wow.

Let’s hit those stats:
Starting weight 251
Surgery day weight 238.8
Weight today – 182
Total loss – 69lbs

I don’t know where to begin so I am just going to ramble on and see where I wind up.
I am coming up on one year and I am very happy with my progress.
69lbs is pretty fucking nifty.
Did I think I’d be further along, sure but did I ever really think I’d get “here”?
Honestly, no.
I mean I hoped that I did but I still look at the # on the scale and find it hard to believe that it’s correct.
I still try on clothes that are too big for me when I am shopping.
Yet it is and that just thrills me to bits!!!
I am not done or completed yet.
I will continue to work and make the effort.
It’s not easy and I am ok with that.
I am willing to put in the work and the effort.
There are certainly days when I want a cupcake (and I mean a good one) but I’ll physically feel like shit and the thrill certainly doesn’t last as long as I’d like it to.
So I seek my thrills elsewhere.
I am happy to be back to yoga, it’s been awhile.
That stupid car accident threw me for a bit of a loop and although I’d love to be hitting the weights I know right now just isn’t the best time for that.
Instead I have been doing 90 minutes of Vinyasa twice a week, walking a lot (I mean really a lot, my son and I play Pokémon Go) and I am going to go back to my squat/ab challenge tonight.
I really want to push myself to hit my surgeon’s first goal which is 175.
I am only 7 lbs away.
What I’d really like to do is blow PAST that but all I can do is try.
What frustrates me at 11 months out? That my BMI is 32.2 and I am still considered “obese”. What the fuck!!! LOL.
But I realize that it’s obese for “me” and my height and where I am now and where I will be.
I realize I didn’t think this was ever going to be a quick fix.
I realize that I am more than halfway to my goal.

Here’s to next month…holy crap 1 year surgiversary here I come!!!!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
