My story thus far



Recommended Posts

Ive not posted in 8 days. Ive been so busy between family, work, and working out it just slipped my mind. Ive not weighed myself since the 16th and im going to stay on that mission until my next follow up oct 19th. But this morning as putting my pants on and walking over to get my belt the weight of my phone was pulling them off me. I put my belt on. Which less than a month had 4 holes left past where i normally wore it. Today i kept pulling trying to get to a hole only to realize the belt is to big for me. It feels so good to be at this point. When not weighing you question if you are losing but when the clothes get to falling off it really reassured you it was all worth it

Ive not posted in a while. Try to spare the boring details. Everything i still going great for me tolerating my food well. The past 2 weeks any pain that i may jave had from certain movements is gone so i have started lifting weights everyother day and cardio days in between.

10/19 i had another check up. 5w5days post op. I started at 391 and im down to 329. And my bodyfat % dropped from 54% to 42%. Doctors are moe than impressed and that makes me feel so good. I said my goal by the new years was to be in the 299 or lower and they said i should reach by first of dec. I sure hope they are right because thats been a huge goal. I go back for my 3 months check up 12/14 so hopefully i have achieved it

Been a month nd half since my last post or weigh in. I have a 3 month checkup coming this week the 14th so with all the stress ive had lately i weighed early expecting the worst. I could tell a difference in my body but didnt think the number would show well after 3 months of surgery and nearly 10years since ive seen this number i weighed in at exactly 300lbs today. So a total of 91lbs lost and i met my first goal of being at 300 by new years 3 weeks early.

      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
