I finally saw the 2 in front of my weight not that ugly 3... I was 296 lbs. the first time I broke the 300 mark in over 3 years!!!! It brought a tear to my eyes when i was on the scale... all it takes is a moment like that to get me ultra motivated and thinking that it all was worth it.....

That is so wonderful! I know you are so proud! It is an awesome feeling when you start seeing changes, but I sometimes see more changes in my clothes and sizes than I do on the scales. I am still hoping to make it to "two-terville" myself, but I still have 22 pounds to go. Keep up the great work, and congratulations!:thumbup:

thank you all you kinda get that motivation factor kicking in high gear when something like the 2++ kicks in...... I had a lot of swelling after my band was done so i was in the hospital for 6 days hooked to just a IV...no foods or liquids for 6 days..I lost about 15 lbs during that stay.I guess it was a good "jump start" to my weight loss..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. 🤞

      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.
