2.5 months out, 50lbs gone!



Recommended Posts

By no means am I at goal, but I'd you would have told me on Sept 26th that is be 50lbs lighter before Christmas, I would have told you that you're insane. Yet here i am! I have 60 more to go before I'm at goal, but for the first time in my life, I can see myself getting there. That's a lot to wrap my head around. The lowest weight I ever remember being is 186 in 6th grade.

So pictures are worth 1000 words. The first pic was July 1st, two weeks before my first appt with the surgeon. The second was tonight. post-301190-14812563050883_thumb.jpg post-301190-1481256312131_thumb.jpg

@@melunruh You are doing great!!! Awesome job!! Doesn't it feel amazing? My surgery was May 16th just a little over 6.5 months ago and as of this morning I'm down 99.8 pounds!! just 2.2 pounds away from meeting my goal of 150......I'm hoping to hit my goal by Christmas. What a present that will be!!

So keep doing what you're doing and keep remembering this feeling you have now and use it for motivation on the days when you struggle. Congrats!!!

Thanks everyone! Setting a better example for my daughter is one odd my huge motivating factors! She had started going to see my trainer with me on the weekends and we've signed up for a 5k women's only obstacle course on April 8th. I would have NEVER considered doing that in my past. I'm loving the extra energy I have now. Even my daughter mentored this morning how much happier I am! Ron and autumn, I look forward to keeping up with you two!

      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. 🤞
