Hi Sleevers, I pray we are all in good health and happy about our decision. I have lost 60 lbs since 9/21/17. I have been at a stall for several MONTHS... not weeks. I am starting to get anxious because I hope I have not hit my plateau. My goal weight is 140-145 and unable to to get a there. My job is so demanding, on the unit for 8-12 hours with very little intake non the less maintaining my Water. I try to at least take in the Protein Shakes and a few cups of water but definately not enough. My workout has gone from 10-10 to 4-10[emoji26][emoji26][emoji26][emoji26][emoji26]. I am stressed and anxious and driving my husband crazy. Someone give me some encouraging word please. Start weight 212 present weight 152. Proud if myself but....!!!!!!

Proud of yourself, "but" ..... kick that "but" out of your brain! You are only 5 pounds from your goal weight and look how much you've lost!!! Please, please, revel in your new body. Love it, enjoy it, take good care of it and those extra pounds will eventually come off if you eat right and exercise....or they may not and you will still be significantly healthier than you were a year ago. I think you are being way too hard on yourself which is your old brain trying to push you into a self defeating pattern so you will go back to the way you were. Ignore that critical but and just love yourself. You deserve it!

      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. 🤞
