I’m super excited to share that I just crossed over from obese to overweight this morning. Weight loss goal 1 achieved. On to the next goal which is to hit normal range. I’m buying jeans in size 14 and tops in XL and I couldn’t be more pleased! I’m so happy, I just wanted to share. Also, for those of you in a stall, don’t worry. It eventually comes off. I stalled 2 1/2 weeks after surgery for almost 2 weeks (it was a real bummer).

Is 135 a realistic goal weight? I'm not trying to be snarky, but our stats are almost exactly the same! I didn't think that was possible?!

My doctor told me that at my starting weight 75% will achieve 170lbs. 50% will achieve 150lbs and 25% will achieve 130lbs. Since I’ve maintained just under 135lbs in the past, I’m using this as my final goal but believe me when I say I’ll be extremely happy anywhere in the 150lbs - 135lbs range.

That's how I feel too! 150? GREAT!! I almost think 135 would look emaciated on me, but if that is what my body can do, I'm game! 😁

Go for it!! At 5'5", I weighed 125-135 through college, so it is certainly a healthy #.

      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.
