Today Is 4 Months Post Op



Recommended Posts

Today marks 4 months for me with a weight loss of 66lbs and a total of 28 1/2 inches off my body so far. I've went from a snug 24 to an 18. Although my weight loss has slowed I'm still grateful for every pound I've lost. Yesterday was a non weight goal I met also I was able to get on my husband Harley with him and ride without the issues of being smushed against him and my butt hurting after only a short ride

I hear you! I'm down 35 in 4 months and this last 10 lbs has been WORK! I just got my 2nd fill and I'm feeling more restriction, but still feel like I'm "dieting".

LOVE hearing success stories.

The only advice is to follow Protein first and stick to 1 cup or less of food. Don't cheat yourself by eating the same foods that got us in this shape to begin with. I read a lot of I eat what I use to just smaller portions that to me is cheating yourself out of working with your band learn to eat healthier and of course exercise as much as you can. I've only had one fill and have to wait until half way through October for my second. Don't ever give up and take it one day at a time

2nd day post op. Not feeling to well. No real pain. Just having a lot of gas. Taking gas-x strips. Any other suggestions? Not much appetite. Trying to eat broth' date=' Protein in juice, Jello.[/quote']

Walk as much as possible, even if its just around the house. It helps with the gas.

Walk that is all that helped me. Gas x didn't do anything

      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.
