Recommended Posts

let me start out with holy sh**!!!!!!! today is 3weeks since my band and i have lost 25 freakin lbs :):) i still have a ways to go but i am pumped. i waited to weigh myself becuase i didnt want to obsess over my scale everyday, but yesturday my pants legit feel down haha im not even lying they dropped to the floor embarressing yet exciting at the same time LOL. it has been hard since im real hungry alot more these past couple days but im drinking tons of Water and hopefully after my first fill that will help.. i start exercising today so that should melt away some more weight. my question is, is this the height of significant weight loss? i mean like afta this will it be the slooow process? either way im so happy i decided to do this.. only thing i regret is waiting so long!

thanx in advance for your input guys

Stace, I think everyone is different as far as the rate of weight loss. I was banded 6.5 weeks ago and have lost 18.8 lbs since beginning my pre-op diet, so it's been fairly slow for me. BUT, I weigh myself daily (record my weight 1/week) and this week it looks like I might have a bigger loss than I have been. Not sure what's different, since I haven't changed anything, but it just goes to show that weight loss is a mysterious and unexplainable process. For most people the rate of loss will fluctuate, so it may slow down for you for a while, then speed up, then slow down again. The important thing is to remember that as long as the weight keeps coming off, you're doing great.

Good luck! :)

Christmas of 2010 - picture this: I'm out of state at my new boyfriends (now my new husband) families house for Christmas. I'm wearing a really cute black skirt that I had to roll the waist on cuz it was too big. I'm standing in the middle of the room with about 6 other people and my legs felt a little cold. My skirt was on the floor! My boyfriend noticed and helped me pull it up - thank God everyone else was in deep conversation and no one else saw it (at least we don't think so!). I had to belt my skirt that day and the minute we got home it went in the goodwill pile.

Congrats! You're doing so well!

Good for you!! I was wondering the same thing..I lost 10pds pre op and then so far 13 pds post op..and it has only been a week since surgery..I will take it too!! I expect that once I start solids the weight loss will slow down...I hope not, but...I was not expecting to lose it all so quickly anyways..

Congrats!!!

      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. 🤞
