Just thought you guys would like to hear about this. OK, I weighed myself Monday morning. I had posted a few days ago about being in a rut and not losing anything for the past few weeks.

I got my hair cut off yesterday evening (man, I tell you, I haven't had it this short since I was in high school). I get up this morning and the thought run through my mind wondering if I had lost anything since I got my hair cut. So, I step back on the scales and believe it or not, I had lost 2 1/2 pounds. I couldnt do anything but laugh about that. I don't know, to me I found it a little bit funny.

Wouldn't it be nice if losing weight was as simple as having your hair cut off? I called my cousin (she was the one that cut it) and told her about it. She laughed at me and then ask if I wanted her to come back up to the house and me go for the bald look...lol.

Just thought maybe this little short story could be a pick me up for some of you out there.

LOL, cute story..My hair is long, but it took my 10 years to get it long, so I'll keep those few extra pounds to keep my hair.But I highly doubt mine weighs much, as it thin...Kinda like how I am becoming,yeah!

My son has a friend who, every time he comes over, heads for our ensuite (as for the longest time, the door on the toilet wouldnt close properly) and weighs himself, has a dump and weighs himself again. He loses 2lb every time!

I've been tempted to try it, but since I've been banded, less goes in and so inevitably, less comes out..... I dont think the loss would be that impressive, lol.

      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. 🤞
