Well, I've only barely made it, but gosh it feels good! This morning I stepped on the scale and it read 90.5kgs. I double checked 3 times to make sure I had the right number lol, then ran up stairs to convert it to pounds... 199.5!

It's been years since I've been here and gosh does it feel good hehe :)

Next small goal, 180 lbs - that's what I weighed before I got pregnant with my daughter. After I had her (7 years ago), I did the dreaded grapefruit juice diet for a few months. I went from 206 lbs to 180 lbs. Of course, when I stopped the diet I gained it all back and then some - haven't been under 200 since then.

I still have a quite skimpy skirt that I could (just barely) get into before I got pregnant with her. I plan on dragging it out of the closet in just a few months hehe (not that I'll ever wear it in public again lol, its probably the main reason I ended up pregnant *g*).

Thats so great. I made my first goal yesterday on the scale. I called my husband in to the bathroom so he could read the scale for me, I thought I was seeing things.

WTG!!!!! That's an outstanding accomplishment and I am so thrilled for you. Hearing others success helps me when my own seems to have stalled or strayed off the path. It truly is encouraging and as for that skirt, you wear it girl, you've earned it, even if you don't leave the house :- ]

Keep up the great work and thanks again for sharing with us!!!!

Are you finding the numbers that were hated enemies on the way up the scale are like old friends on the way down? I remember being tearful and depressed seeing 199 on the way up, but danced with joy to see it again years later on the way back down.

Dance with joy, you deserve it!

      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.
