2/3 of the way there



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share what I realized yesterday: I am 2/3 of the way to my goal weight. Sounds good when you say it that way, doesn't it?!

Good grief. That's fabulous. I am only about 40%. Way to go Robin Bird. What's your secret?

Robin,

That is great. Congratulations! I am getting close to the 2/3 mark. I am at 61.8%. I love my band.

Congrats Robin!

I am a little over half way there at 55% of my weight gone. Another nice NSV is that I was able to buy clothes in size 22 yesterday. Haven't seen 22 in 18 years. Woo-hoo!

Thanks, everyone! Your support makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside! Foorfy, I don't have a secret. I wish I did! Then maybe I could kick up the exercise and stop eating the junk I've been gravitating toward lately!

That's a minor error, Robin Bird. Someone on another thread called me FooFoo! That's not acceptable. ;o)

Remember the kids song... "Little rabbit FooFoo, hopping through the forest, picking up the field mice, and bopping them on the head."

Speaking of getting names wrong - my last name is Vande Hei, so you can imagine how people butcher that! The best one is this: I have a friend named Chris Behrend. He got a Reader's Digest in the mail addressed to "Chris Rearend"! Classic!

Foofy!

You crack me up! LOL. I will always think of you when I hear that song.

      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.
