Wow! Your doing fantastic!
I can't believe how time has flown this year!
My 2 week pre surgical diet weight was 242 December 6, 2016
Surgery was December 20, 2016...
my current weight is 152. Which makes me 90 pounds down, with a BMI OF 27.
My goal is currently 135, which allows me to reach a healthy BMI of 24.
When I get there, I will reevaluate.
Doing well weight loss is slow going now, but I feel good, I look good, so I don't obsess. I'm enjoying my new weight and enjoy shopping. I still weigh myself daily, and keep an eye on everything I eat, but I have been known to taste test a thing here or there, but do not consume the foods that are not allowed.
I'm look forward to loosing the last 17 pounds before my 1 year anniversary.

All in all, regardless of all the hiccups, such as the hematoma that I developed in the recovery room, the reflux, that requires that I take daily medicine to control and now the gallbladder removal that I will undergo in 2 days.... the sleeve is still the best thing I ever have done for myself. It has allowed me the opportunity to gain control over my food, and has allowed me to be a healthier person.

December 14th was my date and I am really pleased and happy.... I feel so good! I wish all of you success.... remember not to judge you by comparing yourself to someone else's achievements. Our journeys are different in so many ways.

What’s everyone’s height?

I was sleeved dec 9 and my SW was 255 and I am now fluctuating between 163 and 166. I am 5’9 so my BMI is 24 which is normal now but I’d like to get down to 155 lbs so it gives me room to gain weight without being overweight.

I lost all my weight without doing any exercise but paying attention to what I ate. But I really now need to tone up my body because it’s very loose.

I don’t really know what I’ll do to celebrate.. I would normally eat something terrible but since that’s not a good idea, maybe my wife and I will go on a date or something..

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
