Update on my weight and stuff



Recommended Posts

Hey guys just back for a quick update for those who don't know my story. I started my journey on January 2014 I was weighing in at 410 pounds. I had to lose at least 50 pounds for surgery. My surgery was December 2014 I weighed 347 that night, now today I am 250 that's a total of 160 pounds. I went from not wearing jeans to fitting a size 16 which is still big but man what a difference. Personally I always give myself little goals because with such great changes I like to keep it simple at least that part. My next weight goal is 240 I've worked so hard and I feel so blessed and this was the best decision I ever made for myself I mean ever. I'm finding myself and learning how to love myself again. It feels good to go shopping again. It feels great to fit into things and even more it feels good to love myself again. For anyone out there this won't be a easy thing to do but definitely worth it I promise. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

You are doing fantastic! Awesome to hear how your setting realistic goals for yourself. Isn't it great to look forward to shopping rather than dreading it? Do you also find that you don't mind mirrors anymore? That was one of the things I have noticed recently. ????

      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. 🤞
