I'm not updating mine right now. I went yesterday to the doctor for my followup from surgery and was up 4 pounds since this past Friday! I had my port revision then and was on liquids and mushies throughout the weekend. The nurse told me it was Water weight still left from the fluids I had in me from surgery. I hope so - still not posting the gain. I'm going to wait a couple of days to see what happens. Urrgggghhh...

I'm so glad everyone else is doing well!

Thanks Nuke!! I am really pumped today. I was just looking back at my ticker and since starting low carb about 2 1/2 weeks ago I hav lost 9 pounds!! Looks like I have found the "diet" that works best for me. I don't intend to always "diet", but until goal I don't so much mind it!!

We are going on a mini vacation this weekend. I am going to do my best to not gain! Vacations are so hard!!

wombat - the only way I could get to goal right now is through PS, but I'm trying...so I know how you feel.

Renewed - I'm so glad you hit your goal - WTG! You must be stoaked...

Nuke - hang in there girl! I'm going to the beach this weekend - and need to do good. I'm ready to see the scale moving again. I've plateau'd. Darned late fills...I finally have some restriction since my first fill on Friday...I'm hoping to lose another 4 pounds by the 4th...hopefully I can be half way there :-)

Karen - congrats on your two pounds...keep it up!

Well - I weighed today - I'm still 225...the same :-) The nurse told me I am still holding on to some fluids from surgery. I'm happy to not have a gain! Whoohoo!

So, its been 2 weeks since my last fill on the 13th. Then I was 218. When I started this challenge I was at 216, now I am 214. So Really I can say Ive lost 4 pounds in 2 weeks. Not that bad. Sometimes I feel like I am hardly loosing anything. Can anyone help me get rid of my ticker?

      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. 🤞
