YIPEE, YAHOO....I've lost 50 pounds!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

Just had to share my great news....today I hit the 50 pounds lost mark...as a matter of fact, it's actually 52.1! I am so excited and really find it hard to believe. I've been overweight most of my life and the most I've ever lost was 40 pounds at Weight Watchers when I was in my 20's. When I hit that mark, I just stopped following the program and continued to gain weight back plus some extra. Now, I can't believe that at the age of 45, I could lose 52.1 lbs in 3 1/2 months. I am so totally happy with my Band and I thank God for it's availability to us and for all the support I've gotten from my family and the people here on this website. As I've said before, it's the best gift I have given to myself. Good luck to you all on your weight loss journeys! :)

Lisa :smile:

Wow that's wonderful! Thanks for sharing. It is so motivating to hear your success as my story is very similar. I'm 47, lost a lot of weight when I was in my 20s and unsuccessful since despite the endless dieting and excercising. I just got banded 10/10 and although there is a part of me that is so excited it is still in the form of hope and not reality. Congratulations again...

Congrats! You expressed exactly how I felt when I hit 50 lbs! I'm now at 58 and I'm going to do a whole celebration again when I hit 60! :smile:

Way to go! :)

Lisa,

I'm Mona and have a surgery date of 10/29. I am excited and nervous and I am hating the liquid diet. I am in Day 5 and am hungry and cannot sleep well. You have inspired me though with your weight loss and positive attitude. What have you been eating since surgery? -Mona ;-)

      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. 🤞
