Leatha - When you came to pick me up that day for our overnighter, I thought to myself that you are so tiny. I expected to see a bigger woman. Your picture sure don't do the justice, you are so much prettier and petite in person. I guess when we look at ourselves we just don't see us the same way as others see us.

Leatha, congratulations! I know how hard it is to deal with a stubborn plateau. You and I started at the same weight and we're close to the same weight now and yet. . . I am wearing your old clothes! The ones you were too small for way back in November. I think you must be all muscle. And you sure look small. Congratulations again!

Thank you Babs! I hate to admit I've been preparing myself mentally that I may indeed be one of those who only lose 50% :D But, I know it's more me than it is anything else. I just have to admit to myself that the band has done it's job and I have to just meet it halfway. In my case and at this stage in the game, that means no more fooling around. I've gotten by with alot and still managed to lose, no matter how slowly, but I've come to a crossroads where I have to make a decision. Do I want this bad enough to buckle down and kiss the goodies goodbye? or do I want to sit here rocking back and forth and kicking my own arse from now on? ..

Maybe I'm even being too hard on myself? Maybe that truly was a plateau? Maybe I reached a place where I had been before (which is true) and my body wanted to hunker down in the old familiar place? I dunno. But, I do know that it's not going to give in easily. I'm going to have to work for every pound past this point.

Congratulations, Leatha. I predict you'll hit the 170s no later than Feb. 1!

Glad the scale moved for you Leatha. It gets very frustrating when it just doesn't move.

Your pictures are beautiful. You look fabulous. Before you know it you'll be in the 170's!!!!!

      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.
