    I had Gastric Bypass on 10/17/17 and my surgery weight was 475lbs. My heaviest weight ever recorded was 581lbs on Jan 9th of 2017
    today I weighed in at 405lbs 70 down since surgery and 176 total since last Jan.
    Going back to Junior high and school I can't remember the last time I was able to tell someone that I was 3 something and even though that's still a large # it's not 400 and it's not 500 and it defiantly not near the almost 600 I was at just over a year ago,
    I've been struggling a little bit with the scale the last 6-8 weeks. It would either stay the same or go down 1/2 pond here and there. These last 8 pounds since being 408 has been a real struggle I just want to see that scale say 399 and that will be the true milestone point for me in this journey that I've made it that all this hard work is paying off and I can move on to the next goal.
    I know it seems silly to think this way being that I've already lost 176lbs and that should be a milestone on it's own and trust me I don't shy away from that at all.
    It's just a personal thing to me that I see 399 or less when I just on the scale. Not sure if any of you can relate or have had some similar experiencies and can give some encouragement.
    I hope this post finds all of you well and on a successful journey of your own.
    Thanks everyone!!

    Thank You!!! Yes My wife just recently got into the 199 and down to 192 It's just a different feeling it puts it in a different mindset. It's like that thumb or hurdle that I've been running the race but and jumping over hurdle over hurdle but when I get to this one I trip over it.

    TooBIG.net got a reaction from ProudGrammy in Is it possible to do this for the "wrong" reasons?   
    You have to come first. Without you taking care of you first you wont around to take care of them. So yes those that are saying that you hav etc do it for you are correct. However this is an inner personal struggle that you will have to learn to achieve to get over your fears. Trust me I know exactly what you're saying. I was the same way. Thinking that I had to do it all for everyone else. It put too much pressure on me.
    Sometimes and you'll have to have these conversation with all those involved that you'll hav etc sacrifice some time to get you right to be able to provide a better quality of life later on.
    I had to learn that Quality is better than quantity. You've got this and anything that I can do to help you along the way just ask.

    TooBIG.net got a reaction from FluffyChix in My husband is dead set against me having wls. Any advice on how to overcome that?   
    It's hard to answer this question without other factors being involved. If you don't have support from your spouse then I would think there's other issues in the marriage that we just don't know about or that you might not be willing to admit.
    Best advice I can give is really sitting him down and asking him if I go through with this will I have your support and if not what are your next steps.

    Hey all, My family and I do vlogs on YouTube and documenting the journey of my wife and me in our journey's with weight loss surgery. My wife was sleeved on 9-18 and I'll be having gastric bypass on 10-17 this coming Tuesday.
    I set a goal for myself when I started back in Jan that I wanted to lose 100lbs before my surgery. I had my final weight in and recorded what the scale said in a recent vlog. Did I hit the goal?

    I know I'm not there yet as my surgery is oct 17th but you gotta stay strong. You got this no problem. Stick to the program so you can be the best you. You coming on here is the first step too. Don't bottle this stuff up and talk about it.

    No judgement at all, no one said this is going to be easy at all.

    Myself and well as a bunch of other on this forum are here for you.
