Officially 100 lbs Down!



Recommended Posts

Had my gastric sleeve surgery on May 11th, 2015 and I couldn't be happier with my progress! Since January, I have lost a total of 100 lbs. I still am having trouble grasping that I lost so much weight in so little time, but I am absolutely ecstatic! I never thought this day would come.

I feel great, clothes fit me better, I'm feeling more confident and I finally feel like I'm working towards the body I've always wanted but never thought I'd have. Not only that, doing every day things is so much easier. I fit into seats better, seat belts fit me, I don't have to squeeze through people when I'm at a party, stairs are much easier, just walking from point a to point b is so much easier. I feel more sociable because I'm less insecure. I find myself wanting to go out and explore new places and mingle with new people. Overall I just feel happier and excited about what's to come.

I started losing weight on July 15th and I'm 50 down now. I totally hear you about seats.... before I could not fit comfortably in most restaurant booths and would either 1) verify the table moved or 2) take a table. Now with just 50 down I can sit in any booth and have room! Looking forward to the next 50 to drop :)

      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
