Congrats! That is so exciting.

It can be discouraging to see others lose fast but at the same point I'm not giving up. I've lost 24 since my surgery on March 24th and I'm still moving forward.

Charmedmis -

dont be discouraged!!! You are doing great!! I love that I have lost but sometimes feel like it is not enough. Only 2 people have commented on it so its not showing yet...that is hard.

Keep up the good work!!!!! :thumbup:

Congratulations! You've done fantastic! I'm sure you feel better which is half the "battle". And the fact that you've lost the same pounds that have come back over and over is really a huge accomplishment!

Thank you for your motivating post!:thumbup:

I can't get too discouraged. I went shopping the other day and was able to get the next size down in clothing. The first time in a very long time!

That is something that you'll notice...even though you don't seem to be loosing weight at times, you will loose in inches! So keep your chin up! Sounds like you're doing great!:thumbup:

Congratulations! I do wonder though, if there is such a thing as losing too fast??? I started my pre-op diet on 6/8/10 and weighed in at 274. I was banded on 6/22/10. They did not weigh me in on surgery day (which I thought was strange)!! Today is 7/3/10 and I weighed myself and I am down to 245. That's 29 pounds!!!! As you can imagine I'm super EXCITED!! However, I also am cautious! I know that I'm going to level off soon and lose a little at a time (which I'm anticipating and okay with). I just wanted to know did anyone have a large weight loss at the beginning?

      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.
