Wow your weight loss is very visable, congratulations on what you have achieved so far, and I love the new hair cut. Is your surgeon/medical team satisfied with your progress? If they aren't did they have any suggestions for you?

How many calories are you eating in a day? How much Protein? Are you still following your post-op food guidelines?

your loss is about the same as I was at that point.

Rate of weight loss has to do with a whole host of factors, most of which are out of your control - age, gender, starting BMI, metabolic rate, how active you are, whether or not you lost a lot of weight prior to surgery, etc. The only thing you have complete control over is commitment to your program. If you follow the program, the weight WILL come off, whether fast or slow. I was a slow loser from the get-go, but I almost never went off my plan during the losing phase, and I ended up losing all of my excess weight.

Slow and steady is great! That's how I was with my Lapband. I lost 99 pounds in two and a half years, and kept it off the following 7 years until the band decided it didn't like my body anymore. smh lol You look great! Impressive work so far and continued success.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
