Can't be outdone by Dub , here's my 6 month progress report.

I was 276 at my heaviest that I know of anyways. Was having knee problems, back, sleep apnea, borderline hypertension, high cholesterol, and was headed down the diabetes road fast. Most of those are gone, no more sleep apnea or blood pressure issues, knee still has a little bit to go, but it is better.

I've gone from a size 44 pants and 2XL shirt to a 34 in pants and large shirt.

I've been training for a 5k, which I did this morning, 6 months after my sleeve surgery. Finished just under 30 minutes! So glad I've gone this route of gastric sleeve!post-261380-14620635155147_thumb.jpg

Ryan and all the other studly dudes ... congratulations to you. You are all doing so well.

I can't run anymore (thought I could, but those days are past). So I am jealous of your trotting around out there. And I love, really love, your shirt.

Looking good, Ryan!

I thought you guys were always having "piss'n " contests, not weight loss contests. :)

Both of you look "maaavelous", Daaalings.

Both of you are great examples on how this weight loss "Thing" should and can be done.

I'm having rather a "proud momma" moment! :) (OK, so I'm old)

Great Job!

You don't need my prayers, but there they go-- straight up!

      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.
