What a birthday gift ! I've lost 100 LBS



Recommended Posts

I turn 26 today and when I got up to weigh myself I couldn't believe it I am officially down 100 lbs from my surgery/ starting weight !!! and 133 lbs down from my all time highest of 375 from right after I had my son (cause everyone gains 100lbs during pregnancy)

I'm so thrilled that I was banded, I'm sure that I will be healthy enough to have and enjoy many more birthdays !

Congrats and Happy Birthday! What a great present, I wish I could get a -100lbs on my birthday but it's the beginning of July and that seems unlikely at this point hehe.

This is a really old string, but I was excited to see it. I am being banded in January and part of the timing for me is that I will turn 40 in August and want to be as healthy as possible as I welcome it. I am one of the (apparently) rare souls who is estatically looking forward to this birthday.:biggrin:

      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.
