Just Overweight - Yippee!



Recommended Posts

Hi fellow bandsters:

Another milestone this morning. My weight is now 189 and for my height that is considered to be "overweight" on the bmi scale. Having gone from 324 pounds - "Morbidly Obese" to just "overweight" is such a big accomplishment.

I wish you all these thrilling events too!

THANK YOU!!!! I so appreciate reading such a positive story! It seems most only share negative stories, and since I've paid my $$$ and am awaiting surgery on July 2nd, I really needed to hear this from you. My feet have been getting colder and colder by the day, but now I'm feeling a bit better! Congratulations on your great accomplishment. I hope to be one of the success stories like you!

I remember the day I became Merely Overweight Legster. The crazy thing was that with that same weighing I also became Merely Overweight Legster in Onederland. It was a great day. You have a great one, too!!!!

The good, all of it. The bad - stuck once bad. The ugly - the loose skin.

But overall, it's been great!

I'm going to post before & almost there's in July when it's my bandiversary.

Thanks for the good wishes, and the same to you.

Sue

Thanks legster:

We're both under 30 pounds to goal. Isn't it exciting. I know the losses are coming alot slower now for me. I hope we can both hit our goals by October.

WTG Sue! I'm sure it's been a long journey! Only continued success! I hope to join you in the "overweight" category soon too, which will be extremely exciting as I also was morbidly obese less than a year ago.

      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.
