I honestly didn't know if I would ever make it here. I don't own a scale, on purpose. I weigh myself according to opportunities. So it's been a while. And I am finally under 200 pounds. I am down over 124 pounds! The anniversary of my surgery isn't until the end of next month, but I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions of my entire adult life. I am so grateful I could cry! I have not weighed under 200 pounds since my mid-20s. I never thought I would again. I feel like I have been given my life back!post-260601-14774200658564_thumb.jpg

Thank you so much. These forums encourage me and gave me so much courage for my journey, and to be on the other side of it inspiring others makes my heart soar! I'm so happy for you. I know you're going to do great!

Congratulations! What are you doing to Celebrate ?

I ask myself that same question today, and what I decided to do is make sure I have the tools to get all the way to my goal, so I purchased a fit bit, and a few good implements for the kitchen that will help me to cook more, and I am going to join weight watchers just for help with continuing accountability and increasing my effort. My big gift to myself when I reach goal is to have my breasts lifted!

Thank you so much for celebrating with me! I had no idea I was under 200 until today and I'm so happy I could weep with joy.

YAY!!! In the words of my one of many leaders ( she was a TOPS leader but I have been to many more wL groups) She told me this many many years ago, isn't it funny that after all of my years of trying to lose my weight that I still hear these things that were said to me!! NOTHING TASTE AS GOOD AS BEINGHEALTHY AND SKINNY!! This is so very true!! Nothing I mean nothing feels like the accomplishment of getting below 200#'s!! We called that a BIG KERPLUNK because of the scale having 50# increments. I am so happy for you!! KEEP ON KEEPING ON my friend!!!

I'm so thankful for all your supportive comments. Thank you so much. I remember looking at these forums when I was over 300 pounds, and other people's success stories helped me a great deal, especially in the pre-surgical phase when I was still struggling with my courage, and postop, when I felt discouraged or fearful that I might fail. I used to dream of the day when I could post something that might uplift somebody else who is destined to change their life in a positive way with this powerful surgical tool. I thank every single one of you for showing up and showing us how it's done!

      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
