I'm so Pleased to have reached this milestone!! Well to be accurate I skipped right passed it as yesterday I was at 99lb lost and today I am 101lb lost! But it really feels Like a significant milestone even though I am just over 10 months from surgery, so my weight loss hasn't exactly been swift, but I'm happy with slow and steady :-)

That's fantastic! What do you mean "my weight loss hasn't axactly been swift"? 10 lbs a month is totally awesome, and twice to three times faster than I've been able to achieve since my teens. Own your achievement! Celebrate!

LOL! 100 pounds in 10 months is "slow and steady" to some people ... I guess.

:)

Congratulations. I don't think you know how lucky you are.

Sorry, please don't be mistaken. I am hugely grateful for the progress I have made and the smooth journey I have had to date. I have been very blessed and I don't under estimate that at all.

I guess I am a)not very good at either complimenting myself or taking compliments off others, and b )quite self critical - so I read about plenty of people who do 100lbs or more in six months or less...and in comparison my loss is slower.

Either way, I am thrilled and feel so much better in so many ways. Took me years to find the courage to have surgery and I'm so very glad I did!

Still have another 20-30lbs to get to goal, but I'll keep on keeping on

@madferitchick Slow and steady WINS the race !!

You should be SO proud of all you've been able to accomplish since surgery ...

As with you, it too, took me a while to FINALLY get up the nerve and the courage and the "balls" to have this surgery ...

Now that I'm 9 months out ... I WISH I'D DONE IT YEEEEEAAAARS AGO!!!

Again, congratulations ... YOU deserve it !!!

Thankyou @@MrsKarenC2008 and well done to you too! I also wish I'd done it years ago but I guess the process of making the decision is all part of it!

@@kaitlynm I kind of celebrated early as I've just been on holiday with my family to Florida for two weeks (I'm from the UK) and I did ALOT of clothes shopping...like really ALOT!! Lol! And I loved every minute of it! Having to ask for a medium in lucky brand, Tommy Hilfiger, Michael kors etc because the large was too big was just surreal!! But I think my shopping spree definitely counts as a celebration lol!

Awesome I'm 6 weeks after surgery today and officially out of recovery stages and I lost 47. My goal was 50 and hopefully tomorrow I'll be there. I would love to be down 100 by July.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
