I’ll be 2 years out post VSG in January… lowest weight was 122 back in February… now I am 135 and I have an 18 month/2 year check up tomorrow!!! I am freaking out! I’ve been working out and trying to gain muscle but this weight gain has me stressed, overwhelmed, depressed, you name it uhhhh. Anyone else in the same situation want to talk and help each other out?

Thank you so much for your comment. This really helped put my mind at ease!

I appreciate the comments. I am starting to work out but the thing is that I know I’m not eating the healthiest so I think that’s part of it.

I am 11 months post VSG today! Down below are my stats. HW: 255 SW: 243 (day of sugary 237) CW: 126 GW: 110-120 I scheduled my plastics appointment for next month! I told them I wanted to remove loose skin from my tummy area and wanted to do something with my breasts.... it’s definitely affecting me... they deflated and are sagging so much :-( anyways tell me your story! What time of plastics did you get? How much did you pay out of pocket? Pain? Recovery? Was it worth it? How long did you have to wait Ladies- if you got breast implants how big did you go?

40,000 that’s a lot but well worth it! Yes unfortunately my boobs deflated so bad...They should not look like that at age 28 😭

Did they let you pay in payments? Yay good luck on your surgery!

Thank you!!! I have a consultation next month, two days before my one year post op!!!

We’re you able to pay in payments or did you have to pay it all at once? Ahh I mean type not time 🤦🏽‍♀️

Hello I haven’t posted on here in a while. Down below are my stats... Surgery date 1/23/2020 HW-255 SW-237 CW-130 GW-110-120 Please no negative comments... I want to know does anyone feel like they are eating too much? My nutritionist says I need to stick to 800-1000 calories a day but it’s very hard. At 10 months out I am finding myself fitting more in my stomach and eating anywhere from 900 to 1500 calories a day....I don’t eat until beyond full...once I get full I stop! I am just concerned I’m eating more than usual. Anyone out there around my surgery date want to talk? I am thinking I need more support from people who have been or are going though what I am? I have great support at home but the more the better! It also might be the holidays that has me feeling guilty. My nutritionist said i can have a cheat day and i did because i had pie....I just don’t want to gain weight. My BIGGEST fear! I did schedule an appointment next week to see a barbaric therapist to see what’s going on and why I am making myself feel like the absolute horrible person when I eat.

Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments! 😊

Thank you so much!! Now I can get an idea of how to start maintaining!

At what point in your VSG journey did you reach your lowest weight and at what point or what weight did you start to maintaining? My biggest fear is gaining weight I am 11 months postop on the 23rd of this month and I went from 243 to 127 current weight I’ve been slipping up usually on Fridays and on weekends... eating things like breads and going over calories .....I’m not gonna lie sometimes I don’t have the best things to eat but most of the time during the week I do follow my diet does anybody else feel like this? Like even the slightest slip up will bring you back to your old weight? I want to maintain a 120 weight but is this even possible? Ahh help.

Thank you so so much for sharing. Just tying to get an idea or better yet trying to find my balance since I’m starting on maintenance mood.

A friend of mine had the same surgery I had and she is slowly gaining so day by day it becomes my biggest fear... thank you so much for commenting!

Covid sucks!!! Did you also get the VSG surgery?

This is exactly what I want to maintain at that weight... how many calories do you eat a day? I guess I’m just trying to find a balance now that I am 11 months out.

May I ask how many calories you eat on a daily basis?

No not preachy at all thank you so much for replying. Sometimes I feel like I just need to talk to somebody that’s going through the exact same thing I am I actually went to see a therapist last week and it only lasted 30 minutes I mostly did the talking and I got nothing from it.

How tall are you? My biggest fear is gaining...I want to keep losing I would love to maintain around the 110-120... I am 5’1 so I’m short lol how many calories to you take in a day? Macros? Do you have any advice? I don’t think 107 is bad for short people lol... A lot of people ask me how much more weight I plan to lose and I always say I don’t know...I’ll go until my body wants too but also my doctor told me I would never see 120 because of my genetics haha

Had my gastric sleeve surgery last week on Thursday with no complications thankfully. Since day one I have been able to drink water just fine, take pills also...well it’s been 6 days and have tried to get as close as 64 oz of water a day as I could and I’ve been drinking some broth, and some sipping on protein shakes per my doctor she said main focus is water not protein but I am hungry! Is this normal? Yesterday I thought it was a mental thing but today I actually feel my empty stomach growling? Any one have any advise?

I got my surgery yesterday the 23rd at 7am. Those gas pains are no joke! Feeling a lot better today hopefully they send me home today but the doctor wants me to drink two bottles of water but even when I sip it hurts and I get nauseous. I just want to get better and hope to heal quick. I was getting cold feet but this support group helped me push through this. You guy are awesome!

My surgery is exactly one week away and I’m starting to get cold feet I am starting to think if I really need this and if my weight is really that bad. I keep hearing from others that the first week is very very painful. Especially that I had someone close to me tell me that it’s not worth it I think this also is affect me.

Oh haha 😆

Thank you so much for this reply, when will you have surgery? I think my husband thinks id be better of by dieting and exercisng but like I said I always lose some gain some, lose some and gain some, but can never get to my goal weight. I am from USA. As far as meal plan my doctor just put me on a 1200 diet and two day liquid diet before surgery. Send me a message I would love to keep in touch!
