Are you tracking your calories? How many calories are you eating per day?

You really didn't give too much information to what you are eating or if you are working out. So, if you are not working out start and if you are increase the minutes or days or intensity. Drink more Water and cut out high calorie drinks. You may need to decrease your calories. Sometimes small amounts of food can still pack plenty of calories. If you are snacking stop. I didn't lose any weight over 3 months this past summer and it was because I wasn't working out enough, snacking too much, drinking too many calories, and I didn't have the proper fill. You will eventually get to a fill where it helps but until then don't sabotage yourself like I did.

Yea, how many calories? Exercise 4 hours a week? Meeting your Protein goal?

as said before,... ur diet should be packed with Protein, low on calories and u should be more hydrated than a camel in the middle of the sahara.

My first fill (5.5 CCs in a 10 CC band) didn't do much either. Later, when I had 7 CCs, then I felt restriction and it was a whole new ball game.

Until you have restriction, try to focus on good nutrition and healthy activity. Hang in there. It gets better!

      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.
