Thanksgiving Day, I weighed 388. I was banded on 12/3. As of this morning, I hit 338. 50 pounds in basically a month.

I'm walking (on average) three times a week, drinking basically only Water, and eating normal, soft foods (scrambled eggs, Soups, you know the drill).

I know the next 50 will go slower, but I'm still looking forward to it. My journey has begun with a bang.

That is amazing Heavy. I'm in awe. There are definitely some great pay offs for staying with it. 50 in a month! I don't even know what to say!

I hope you are feeling as good as it sounds. I can't imagine how I'll feel in 30 more pounds (that will be about my 50). The change now is unbelievable.

So kudos to you. I look to you for my advice. You've obviously been doing something right. Thank you for your inspiration.

Shelly and Heavy WOO HOO!!! Keep it up.

If I'd lost 44 - 50 lbs. I'd have to buy new pants. So maybe I won't be too envious... gotta pay off my deductable before buying clothes. LOL

I'll be watching for more news from the two of you.

Thanks everyone! Some of my clothes are definitely fitting a but looser, but all the clothes sitting in my closet that were too small are still too small. Personally I don't think there's a huge difference yet (or I would have posted pix), but a lot of people at work have been telling me I look different, especially in the face.

I read somewhere that the difference between a size 6 and 8 as apposed to the difference between a 2x and 3x if much more noticable.

I'm sure as soon as you start dropping sizes they will seem to fly by. I've read some of Jack's posts and I think he makes that point often.

I'm the same "size" but my curves are starting to curve in instead of out. I'm no longer one big square!

You'll be changing sizes in no time if you keep your momentum. I still say I'm in awe of your success!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
