I've lost about 4lbs this month but stalled for the last 2-3 weeks. I know that it's been socializing and not having as much control over my food. I know I haven't worked out enough. I need to get back on treacle! I'm down about 53lbs on 5 months.

53 lbs is AMAZING!! I cannot wait until my 12/28 surgery and I will then get to share amazing losses like you!

I have read a lot about stalls and how much they can mess with our heads. I am sure I too will have stalls.

I told my husband about stalls and to remind me to:

Increase my calories to about 200 a day more.

Track everything I eat.

Track my 64 ounces of Water.

Track my exercise and add something different.

Please keep posting back and remember stalls end!!

Just remember its not a race to the finish. Stay the course and you will get there. You know what you need to do and keep at it!

have been hovering between 250 to 253 the past couple weeks. I have been bouncing up and down. I have finally started working 2 days a week with a personal trainer to lay the foundation to join her group exercise classes.

Well I stepped on the scale this morning and it was 249.3. I wanted to cry cause I was so happy to get out of the 250s. I haven't been at that weight since I was 18.

      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. 🤞

      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.
