One Month Post-Op Appt - So Far So Good



Recommended Posts

Just had my one month post-op appt and everything is great. I went in there not wanting a fill since everything has been going great but was prepared just in case he did want to do a fill. He agreed that we shouldn't change anything if everything is working right and I have another appt next month to evaluate again. Also, cleared me for all physical activity. Originally he had told me to wait 2 months to lift weights, etc. but since he said I seem to be a very fast healer I could go ahead and work out as much as I want.

Yeah 26 lbs down in first month (I was never on a liquid diet beforehand). My goal for next month is 15 lbs which may be too ambitious but gives me something to shoot for.

Good luck everyone. :(

Thanks for the support.

The last month I have not had a set cardio schedule but in general have just tried to mix it up since I will start getting bored otherwise. Doing 5-6 days of cardio a week. 2 of those days I try and do a full hour usually splitting up between 30 min elliptical and 30 min treadmill. Other days I try to do at least 40 minutes cardio but split it up into smaller increments (ex 10 min rowing, 10 min bike, etc).

As far as eating I just try to be sensible and always remember Protein first. For example last night for dinner had boneless chicken thigh, spoonful of potatoes and small amount of green breans. Today for lunch had Garbanzo (mediterranean fast food) had serving of their chicken and just a little rice. The other great thing is there is always plenty of leftovers whenever you eat out.

That's great! I was banded on 6/30 and I have lost exactly 30lbs. (I did lose some pre-op). I go next week for my first fill and I am so ready! I feel NO restriction so I'm ready for it!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
