So excited. Got on the scale this morning and it read 199.5. Haven't seen that in 20 years. I thought I got there two weeks ago but I had just gotten a new scale and wanted to wait till I saw the doctor to confirm before I got too excited. I weighed myself before I went and it said 196. Get to the doctors and it was 202.6. It was a cheap scale so I wasn't to disappointed. Was still 6lb less than my last visit. So I went out and got a better scale and it gave me the same weight I had at the doctors. Got on today and lost 3 lbs since Thursday. Down 27lbs since my surgery on 12/29.

thanks everyone. I am super excited. In the past whenever I reached a goal or just done something I wanted to Celebrate my go to was food. Even weight loss goals. Lost 10lbs time to Celebrate with a hot fudge sundae. Bought a new pair of shoes instead. I might get addicted to this new reward system lol

It's official: straight from the doctor's scale -- 195. It's been at least 20 years since I weighed less than 200. While I hoped I'd make it to to "Onederland" I did not expect it. I've been satisfied with just being able to shop at normal stores and "fit" in the world again and have really specifically not focused on the weight number since doing so in the past was more discouraging than helpful.

I am actually only 10 pounds away from reaching my goal -- which again I set at the time as just a dream. I based it on my estimate of what my clothing size would be not any "charts." If I get there it'll will be a huge wow moment. But so was today. Not just meeting but exceeding expectations and doing so in a lifestyle way that I believe I can maintain.

What a miracle.

Best wishes to everyone to reach and enjoy your miracles too.

      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.
