Today I hit the 100 pound loss !

Start weight 256

Day of surgery 236 (5/12/15)

Today 156 (11/21/15)

It has certainly been a Rollercoaster. I would 100% do it again... only I would have done it years ago!

I don't have complications, I deal with cravings rather well so far. I'm not worried about the holidays and food.

The Rollercoaster part is hormones and emotions. I'm up and down a lot now. (No I'm not bipolar) I do have a LOT of stress in my life right now..... but the awesome part is.....

My back rarely hurts, I sleep well, I have more energy, I enjoy clothing and getting ready in the morning. .. I feel on the outside how I feel in my mind for the first time.

Best wishes to all wherever you are on your journey!

Congrats! You look fantastic! All your hard work has sure paid off! It's such an inspiration to see stories like this. It keeps me working hard towards my own 100 pound loss mark!

I think a lot of us can't imagine losing 100 pounds, but you showed us it's possible. You look so happy and that makes all of the hard days worth it!

Congrats!!!!

Patience for sure. Everyone's progress is individual and at its own pace. With good habits you'll get there and when your body is ready. I only mention this because I know I compared to a couple other people who had the same stats as me. Some lost slower, and one faster. .. watching her loose at a faster rate was hard and I had to be put in check by a friend who reminded me of the same thing I'm saying to you.

Congratulations on your surgery! Be kind to yourself during the process. You'll get there!!

      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. 🤞
