It took me longer than I thought but I couldn't be more excited!! 2 months and 3 weeks post op and I've hit the ONEderland! Yayayayayya! Sorry just felt the need to shout it from the roof top. I've met many mini goals in the past couple months but this was my first large goal. Actually 3 large goals in one day! 50lbs down, 50 to go. I'm halfway to my ultimate goal and first time below 200 for about 5 years post-299184-1479568315241_thumb.jpg

Wow! Congrats to you! That is awesome!! I am also about 2 months and 3 weeks post-op and hit 57 pounds down as of this morning. I have 35 more pounds to go until I hit ONEderland but I know I will get there. I haven't been under 200 pounds in probably 15 years, so I can't wait! Again congrats and you are doing great!!

57lbs! That's great! What was your surgery date?

I am losing too much weight, now. Down another 25 lbs. I don't seem to care about or want food anymore, but I keep trying to eat stuff that's good for me, and some sweets, too. My sleeve just won't let me eat much at a time.

When was your surgery? Are you at your goal?

I was too heavy for twenty years, between 35 and 55 yrs old. It was tough, but do we trade one set of problems for another set? Probably so.

I am sorry to hear. However, I don't feel that way at all. I may have had a rough recovery and suffered a few complications, but at this point, I feel this is the best decision I've ever made. My willpower to diet pre surgery was shot. I never would have lost the weight if not for surgery and I would have continued to gain and gain and fall deeper into depression. My family is very superficial and focus on size and looks and you are judged if you don't "meet the criteria" I was embarrassed to even attend family functions. I haven't seen much of my family in years. So, I am gaining my confidence back and the depression and self loathing is fixing itself. It was all weight related which caused me to eat more and more crappy. So for me, this was life saving. Literally

What's with the treat people with respect, remark? Gustavo, I have the utmost respect for people and their goals!

Judy, I didn't post that. That's a comment from someone else.

      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.
