Weightloss Challenge



Recommended Posts

My weight was 202 today. My original starting weight day of surgery was 217 (not 212 like the waisting away site says, can i get that fixed??). So I have lost a total of 15 lbs thus far.

Well I'm 2 weeks post op and still down 10 pounds! I started mushy's and the pounds are holding on for dear life. Oh well I know when I get a fill I will start losing again and besides I lost 13 poounds before I got my band for a total of 23 lost in all. I'd say I'm off to a great start!!! Only that last 10 counts towards the challenge though! Hoping to get to a total of 25 by the end of the challenge!!! Thats just 15 more pounds to go!!!

I've been using the starting weight on the day that people joined the challenge. I thought that was the way to be the most fair to those who joined the challenge when it started.

(If Paula wants to change that "rule", I certainly will -- it's her challenge =) )

Awesome weight loss though! Congratulations =)

Actually, I joined 3 days before I went to surgery, which weight was 217. But it took me awhile to get listed and didn't get listed till after I had gotten back and lost a bit already! But it is ok, if it must stay that is ok. I am going to ROCK this lap band once I can start exercising again! Thanks Crystal for the wooots!

Ah, right you are. I found your post, and you did indeed ask to join before your banding. I've changed your starting weight to 217. Congrats again. =)

195... -2 fom last week.

OK, Im getting excited about this. I might actually make it to a 12 pound loss by June 1st!

I think we are almost 1/2 way there... 5 weeks down already.

If anyone else wants to join, feel free. At this point, your goal is to lose 7 pounds in 7 weeks.

And to the winner *the one that has lost the MOST* I will donate a small sum of money to their favorite charity!!!

Where's Big T & Ladiebird?

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
