@kurigotmoxie I've added you to the challenge! Welcome!

@Pam_2-06-2017 You will break through!

@konalisa80It's only a pound! It could only be Water weight! Move on and down!

@Torriluv87No problem! It's never too late to begin again. Every day is a new beginning, heck every meal is a new beginning. You can never go so off course that you can't find your way back. I also feel like I wasted or lost my honeymoon period but a lot of that was with my complications and having to take TPN infusions instead of eating for several months. All we can do is take a deep breath, let it out slow, and say today I will do this, today I will be on track. This is not an easy road and it will be something I struggle with for a lifetime. But I know I will never let myself get back to 540 pounds. I have slip ups but they are minor and alll I can do is start again the next meal.

I am so sorry for my lateness this time everyone. Everything sucks right now. I got diagnosed with scabies on Monday that my doctor thinks I caught at the hospital when I had my paniculectomy surgery. Then..I got fired from my job on Tuesday. Luckily I still have another job but that was the one that paid the most and had the most hours. I am not having a good week.

My weigh in for 7/7 was 261.2.

[mention=319731]cassiegurl[/mention] Did you mean to put 250 or did you mean 260? If you did get to 250 congrats on a great loss week!

[mention=310197]RockDaisy[/mention]Congrats! That is an amazing feeling! Also, thank you for liking all those posts when I was not on. I've had a hell of a week [emoji20]

250 is correct. Thx.

I don't know if I gave you an aug 11 goal weight. I'm guessing at this because I'm so new but I will say: 188. It is a wild guess!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
