Pondering the end result



Recommended Posts

I haven't been anything remotely close to skinny since I was about five years old (I'm now 33), so now that I've had my surgery, I keep wondering... what will I look like -- not just if I reach goal (199 is just my starting point goal because I haven't picked a long-term goal yet), but along the way?

I have absolutely no idea. I can't even look to my family for possibilities, as most of the women in my family are overweight/obese as well.

I think the end result is going to be an amazing amount of opportunity opens for you! You will look and feel your best and this is what you deserve

What we need is an app, you feed in at: say 300, it would show you what you would look at 250, 200 and 150 and say your goal weight of 135. I would love the royalties off of that! Has any intelligent Web Geek come up with that yet?

I have found that taking good progress pictures helps you along the way. MyFitnessPal gives you the option to take progress pictures and I am always amazed when I look at my starting picture. I am 61lbs down, but I am still carrying it in my face. I can't wait to loose more of my double chin!

Opposite of me. I’m 50 lbs down but lost too much in my face. It looks so thin and I fear, older. I’d rather lose more in thighs and midsection. I still have the thighs of Barney the dinosaur. May need to transplant that thigh fat to my cheeks. :D

I think my stomach is definitely flattening, but it is also hanging down lower. I'm trying to be patient, but there are areas that could use a lot more attention from the fat loss fairy!

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
