You look like a ray of sunshine! And how fantastic that the journey spurred you on to a career as well.

I am having my RNY on August 18, and will think of you and your wonderful progress as I move through the next year.

So I was really active on Bariatric Pal as a pre op and immediately following.

But now I'm 10 months out and I figured it was time for an update.

My HW: 257

Surgery Weight: 235

Current Weight: 155

Goal: 135-145

I hit the 100 pound loss mark at around 6 months and I've maintained it since. This has been a terrible long stall but I workout a lot and I think my body is really happy at 155 even though I would like to lose at least 10 more.

Since my surgery I've gone rock climbing. I went from a 27 minute mile to a 7:30. I am currently training for a half marathon on September 11th! Which is 15 days before my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF MY SURGERY!!

So that is a HUGE goal that I want to accomplish. If I could lose the 10 pounds by then that would be cool to but I'm not going to go crazy over it.

I moved from Minnesota to Montana. I started a pre med program. I want to be a bariatric surgeon one day

I do have a restriction problem. A couple months ago they had to stretch the opening of my stomach a little bit because it was so small that food was getting painfully stuck. But I was told that I could have to have the procedure done a few times because scar tissue doesn't like to stretch. I can tell I'm due for it again because eating with a bra on hurts and I can feel food get backed up after a few bites.

I'm extremely happy with my choice and my new life. My skin is doing amazing. I won't need skin surgery. I've lost over a foot and a half around my waist. 18 inches from around my hips, 10 from around each thigh, and went from bra size 42DDD to a 34B or C.

I was a 3x in tops, 24 in pants.

I am now a small on top and 3/4 in pants. It's pretty crazy how different my life is in just 9 months.

Best decision I've ever made. I hope everyone else is doing well! I've missed you all!!! attachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1469148740.293429.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1469148761.540978.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1469148775.826542.jpg attachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1469148787.762563.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1469148824.233068.jpg attachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1469148848.019684.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1469148871.908491.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1469148894.109364.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1469148968.743335.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1469149006.206824.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1469149135.127738.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1469149182.216192.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1469149227.756339.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1469149254.242161.jpgattachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1469149368.877925.jpg

You are a major inspiration to me. I'm just starting my journey. I am at my HW now at 265 lbs. My surgeon recommends that I aim for 185. I want to get back to 130-140 range. I am not very athletic, actually, I am rather tired and sore all the time. I do plan to put my all into this and hope to look as good as you by next year!

I'm also 5'6" and have weighed between 126 and 180 my whole life. I always looked BEST as a toned 145. Muscle looks hotter than skinny ;) you look awesome! I'm 163 12 days post up, goal is to get to 130 quickly with just diet and cardio, then build sexy muscles hitting the weights hard, which should leave me at 145. My point js, you look awesome - I wouldn't worry about the number on the scale, just keep increasing muscle mass. You're an inspiration!!

I will be around the same starting weight as you and was curious is you did anything specific to help with your skin? If there is a tightening lotion or anything to help? That's a concern of mine is the amount of extra skin I will have.

      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
