I am at about the same spot as you. My problem right now is some major stress in my life. I am hoping when things calm down a bit that I will start losing again. But I did kick up the workouts for a bit, well STARTED working out. Good luck at your workout plans too!

Thanks guys. I can't wait until I get to the 100lb mark loss. My tentative goal is by Thanksgiving.

Regardless, even if I don't - I FEEL so much better and I still have over 100lbs to lose.

It saddens me to think how many years I've wasted. My only regrets were waiting so long to get the band.

Have a great weekend!

So, here are a few.

August 2008 - Right before I decided that I wanted to pursue surgery. (In Central Park.) I saw these pictures and it just confirmed everything - I looked terrible and felt terrible. I could barely make it through the day in NYC doing tourist stuff.

February 2009 - A week before surgery - 10lbs down on Pre-op diet. (At Franklin Institute.)

5/09 - 3 months post-op and 34lbs lost! (At my Uncle's wedding.) Notice - NO STOMACH ROLE! Highlight of my life!

6/09 - 4 months post-op and 37lbs lost! (In Chicago.) Now, when doing tourist stuff, I feel great. I can keep going. I'm not tired and my feet don't hurt. Unlike the first photo, I felt wonderful.

Hi everyone! I'm 2 weeks post-op, and I wanted to share a few of my before/during pics.

The 1st one is from about a month before surgery; the 2nd one is 1 week post-op.

boy oh boy, I cant believe my behind is about to post this face pic. I tell you I cried as I uploaded this pic. Well the first face pic was me in the summer of 2008, i took it as a before pic to remind me at how I eat my soul away(I used to be slim, however, life stressors led me to the wonderful world of the wizard of food) at 290 pounds and a pic I took a few weeks ago at 175 pounds. Is a drastic drastic change. I also added a few other pics I took from may 2009 until June 2009 as slimmed my way down to the mid 170s :thumbdown: One thing I miss about my pre surgery days is my dominican/puerto rican food, howeevr as good as it is Latin cuisine requires a lot of rice eating, I cant eat rice to save my life! it gets stuck, so I dont eat it!

loveislovely, you look freaking amazing! love your sense of style, too.

k, i just posted this pic in the main pics thread, but figured i should add it here too since people my age would probably be more interested. there are more pics i just added in a private album on my profile (add me as a friend if you want to see them)

hate this before pic, but its a good reminder of where i came from and why i am NEVER going back! this current pic i took tonight after a workout.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
