I have stalled for the last month and am actually okay with it. My doctor laughed at me when I explained that I was tired of clothes shopping.

I started this journey at 348. I dropped about 25 pre-surgery. I'm down to right at 200 now. I enjoy being a 14/16....buying an occasional Large. I've size out of Lane Bryant/Catherine's and it feels beyond weird.

My husband had his surgery this last May. He's already lost close to 120. I love him and hate him at the same time. LOL

I was sleeved on 8/11 and I am eating regular foods just feeling my way through see what I can and can't tolerate sticking to meat and veggies for the most part... Although I went out of town for 2 days and went to some restaurants for the first time since surgery and really couldn't eat much but I did go off course a bit with my choice of food not to mention a few cocktails but I was drinking plenty of Water and did plenty of walking after each meal. Still tryna figure things out

Surgery Aug 27, 2015

SW-348

CW-201.8

Just had my husband released from the hospital after 4 days, he fell from a chair he had fallen asleep on (has terrible sleep apnea that has caused narcolepsy) and broke his front tooth and some ribs... the worst part??? His blood sugar was 340. New diagnoses of diabetes!!! He has been my reason for fighting for this again!!! I stalled at about 8 months post op for 3 months!!! Honestly stopped trying after that, but this incident quickly reminded me why I had surgery in the first place!!!

Happy post Thanksgiving everyone! I hope everyone made it through the holiday while keeping macros on point! I made sure I had turkey, ham, and greens. I even had a small slice of my grandmother's sweet potato pie but no guilt here because I've been working out consistently 4 days a week and taking a Body Pump Strenth training class 2x a week. I love my results. My body is changing so drastically (stomach getting flatter, booty getting bigger lol). For the longest my scale wasn't moving. I started fasted cardio in the AM and the Body Pump Classes twice a week and I'm a whole new woman! Strength training is where it's at. I'm not at goal yet and I have a plan to get there by April 2017 but what I realized most is slow and steady for toning and building muscle. It takes time and commitment but doesn't everything in life?

      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.
