Kept my head straight



Recommended Posts

So I confessed last week to my peeps on here that I was fighting a slight depression because I got hurt at work two weeks ago and couldn't go to the gym, but I also said I was sticking to the plan and monitoring myself carefully, well here's proof to those who want to give in or think they can't do this, I hit my next milestone today I am at 288lbs that's exactly -100lbs lost since January, I was at 388lbs and by my surgery date on June 10th I was at 346lbs, now on to my next Milestone, hit 250lbs before end of the year, I need to lose 93-95lbs for my goal weight so this is my halfway point and I'm very excited, and I'm back in the gym starting light but I am there.......post-254362-14422725303414_thumb.jpg

Congrats! Amazing accomplishment!

You're living proof that weight loss is actually 90% diet and not excersise. But we like to excerise, darn it!

I actually am looking at that Babbs, I am currently leaning toward

60% diet

20% exercise

20% mind focus

I want to keep going more than ever, I have to be humble though, cause I find myself angry at people I know that say they regret having it cause it didn't work for them, especially when I see them loading up on junk at the cafeteria, I don't seem to believe that I suffer at all, the foods I eat are great and healthy and the only thing I still crave are the Energy Drinks........ I can't even say I wanna cheat once on those cause unlike food those are my weakness and it will start me up on them.......

        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!

      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
