@@pr_pitbullgrl, Thanks for the encouragement. I'm definitely down but I'd like to get to my goal of 160.

I weighed in yesterday @175.3# so hopefully he won't have to wait too much longer

It may be a nice Christmas present for him lol

Keep doing your thing cause you look "Fab"!!! Thanks again

Hi everyone! Quick question, I was wondering if anyone has been tracking calories? My scale is stuck at 219, so I am trying to evaluate my intake of everything... I'm at 5 months exactly today, wondering what avg calorie count for others is right now? Thanks!

@@Steph~L~16 i don't track calories. never have. i eat Keto. no carb no sugar high fat. for me increasing my fat is what got me out of my big stall. its usually about eating more rather than less or more often. everyone is different but that's what worked for me. good luck! :)

I don't know the Keto diet but when you say increase fats are you talking about avocados? Are there other fats that helped as well? I'm at a stall now. Only losing a pound or two a week. I was sleeved at 240lbs on 5/25 and now at 184 on 9/24. 4 months

Hi. Keto is low carb. Low sugar high fat diet. So when I stalled I increased my fats. Started cooking my eggs in butter or bacon fat. Eating fattier meats. Avocado. cheese Etc. Worked like a charm. I don't know if ur eating carbs or sugar etc but this is what's worked for me. Now I'm at 137lbs so if I want to have rice here or there or potatoes I'll have it but it's pretty rare and normally makes me hungrier and less satisfied or sick so I don't do it much.

It's crazy because after a while once you hit "goal" you kind of run out of pictures to put up on Transformation Tuesday and yet here is another one. On the left that was one of my "skinny" outfits. Can't tell u How tight that corset was. I couldn't even sit down. i don't know if you ever really hit "goal" there always seems to be more work to do. 232 to 135lbs. (took 7 months basically)

      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. 🤞
