I cheated at work again and went in the exam room and weighed myself( I'm supposed to wait til appt on Sept 11) my goal was to hit 299 lbs by the end of August, well I was at 300lbs and my shoes weigh exactly 1lb, so I'm at 299lbs!!!!!!!! First milestone complete, I started in January at 388lbs, on surgery day June 10th, I was 346, so this is an awesome accomplishment for me, and I was emotional because I haven't been under 300lbs in 31years, I posted to my friends on FB but wanted to post on this forum since it has been a big part of my journey, so I apologize, and even started ahead of schedule on next milestones,

1. Hit 250lbs

2. Arm curl 80lbs @ 5 reps( I am at 60lbs @ 3 reps now)

3. Get new scrubs at 3 or 4x instead of 7x ( I've lost 10 waist sizes)

I'm not stopping because I love the forward momentum, I'm addicted to all this now........ Lmao

Hi! I'm using a computer so I don't know anything about making one on the app, but it's easy if you're on a laptop. Just click on your username in the upper right corner of the page, and the third option down in the left column says "My tickers." Click on that, and on the right side it will have the option to create a new one.

      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. 🤞
