I prayed and prayed the WHOLE time I was in pre op, even the day of my procedure as they were wheeling me back on the gurney, I was saying "Lord if this is not your will, hender the surgeon, don't let anything bad happen, but hender him some how, if it's NOT your will" Next thing I knew I was in recovery, and now I have lost all this weight and off all my BP meds, healthy and happier. For once in my life, I am NOT ashamed to walk in my son's gym for a ballgame, I hated that when I was fat, hated walking into a crowded room. SO, I understand how you are feeling, and I hope this makes you feel better.

I am waiting patiently as possible for my surgery date of 4/8. I sincerely feel that this surgery is God's plan for me. I had all of the money lined up for TJ, MX and it fell through. I prayed about it, that if this is supposed to be a sign, I will go get my butt back to WW for the 3 millionth time. The next week, all of my paperwork and money came through. That's enough of a sign for me. Now I just need strength and positive energy to calm my nerves! So excited and nervous that I keep bursting into tears when my family talks about it. Good luck to everyone. Saying prayers for all involved with VSG. I've learned already it is not the "easy way."

I am scheduled to have my surgery August 27th. It has been about 1 year in the works with having to attend seminars, options, meeting surgeons, etc. I have prayed over having the surgery and have not made this decision hastily. As a Christian, I sometimes feel guilty that I am not able to lose the weight on my own, using self control. Does anyone else feel this way?crying.gif

Yes I feel the same way.

I'm so GLAD to hear from you! Yes, I am within 7 lbs of original goal now. I let myself slip into bad junk habit for a while now I've gotten on a healthy eating plan using the 5:2 eating plan and has become habit for me so excited about seeing GOAL number again and then have a small bounce range.

Congrats to you, you gorgeous thing! I've seen the pics of you and your family trips. Happy days!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
