Finally 199 lbs !!!!!! I passed the 200 lbs mark without even seeing it on the scale that's what I've been waiting to see. You know for a celebration of sorts lol and flew right by its so funny. I'm so excited. I had come to the realization that I've lost all this weight and I felt that I got skinny but then 4 mths ago started going in the other direction of everything is sagging and wrinkling and so I told myself well if I don't lose anymore weight it's okay. (I have energy like I had in my 20's. Wow even stamina!) I would be happy cuz then I wouldn't be sagging but I'm so excited. I can sag. I don't care. I'm doing things now that I haven't been able to do since I was in my twenties riding 4-wheelers and looking forward to the pond freezing to go ice skating. Oh my gosh I'm living my life and I felt I needed to share this, this morning because only you all, truly understand everything that I'm saying. I'm so GRATEFUL to have all of you to talk to and to read what you all go through as well.

Thank you for sharing! I can identify with you, I just hit 199 as well after 13 months. I too am sagging and wrinkling. At first it bothered me a little, but not at all anymore. At 46 years old now and was over 300 lbs for so many years, things are going to sag.

So great to hear that you are feeling better and it sounds like you are enjoying life, which is wonderful!

Congratulations on losing the weight.

Well done to both of you and thank you for helping inspire others with your positive comments. I have 45 pounds to go till I get to the one hundreds. But I feel great too, I can wear normal clothes and I don’t feel like everyone is looking at me. Life is good.

I hear ya on the "people staring part" like eating in restaurant you just know your being judge ....... now I get looks because I look good wow is that weird! I've never felt like I was anything to look at. Wed. I was at the gas station getting coffee and this man said you have beautiful hair... I have seen you in here before ..... it's really beautiful maybe it's the color and I'm just thinking wow I just got a compliment .....it's about my hair but still somebody's actually complimenting " ME " ....AND LETS TALK ABOUT CLOTHES THAT FIT!!!!! Isn't it great .....WOW WOW WOW!!!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
