Got my surgery date!



Recommended Posts

Hi. I'm new to this but I am super excited to be taking this journey. Although I am excited I am also worried I will not know how to eat or worried I won't get enough Protein or vitamins!! Hopefully with all this support it will help!!

I have never been skinny and right now I am at my heaviest of 314 lbs 6'0 tall. My goal is to lose around 120 pounds. Not sure if that is realistic or not. But I just want to feel healthy again and start working out and working on myself. I have spent so many years focused on other people in my life that right now is my time to shine!! I'm ready for a change!

Congrats! I know it's a big step. Once I received my surgery date 14/01/16 all my doubts started flooding in.

But I'm sure we'll both turn out absolutely fab!

BTW aim think your 120 pound goal is very realistic, considering the amount of weight people have dropped on these forums.

Best of luck

I completely understand what you are saying! My surgery is Jan 6th and my mind is racing! I am nervous about the procedure, but about everything in the months after. The idea of me at 150 lbs lighter is what I keep dreaming of!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
