I'm a year out and have lost 200 hundred pounds, sounds insane when I think about it but its a fact. I have another 100 or so to lose but am so happy with how far I have over come to be here now. plz share your stories, pics with me I would love to help if I can good luck!!

YES! I was just about to start a new discussion when I saw your post. I look at all of the timelines for others who have lost a lot of weight and can't help thinking, "Wow, can that actually happen for me?" One of my biggest fears is that I will go through all of this, permanently alter my anatomy & lifestyle and still not lose enough weight for it to have been worth it. I mean seriously. I can lose/gain 10-15 pounds in a week just by a change in my monthly cycle! I have over 200 pounds to lose, so the idea of being 100 pounds lighter in a year seems like fantasy sometimes. Some days it's like my surgery date can't come fast enough (Oct.23) and other days I feel like I want to delay it indefinitely. I don't mean to sound negative or uncommitted, but I actually have a hard time believing significant weight loss is possible for me since I have been so heavy for so long.

I look at all the inspiring stories and wonder if I can do what the others have accomplished. Reading all of the stories is amazing but I seriously can't even believe that it's something I can accomplish. Anyone else who's preop feel this way?
