Do you Notice



Recommended Posts

I lost a little over 20lbs so far :) ! I cannot tell at all because i see myself everyday my family says they can notice but i think they are just saying so lol! But I think im starting to believe them! Why? Because a lady who works in another department next to mine came up to me and was like " Wow! You look like you lost a lot of weight!" Woohoo feels good to hear someone you dont talk with normally notice! I still have a ways to go but if 20lbs+ makes a difference already I cannot wait to lose another 20lbs+!!!!

You look amazing

Yeah I agree pictures dont lie. Also make sure you keep up with your measurements. There maybe be times you cant tell and those measurements will be golden.

Taking measurements is an awesome way to track. I am waiting on insurance approval but started back at the gym 2 months ago.. had someone take my measurements Jan 23... had them taken again March 24 I had lost 2.5 in in my chest 1.5 in my waist and 2.25 in my hips which i was thrilled about bc the scale had only gone down about 8 lbs... So definatly track in more than one way... pics, measurements, etc... You are doing wonderful 20 Lbs is a big deal! :) keep it up

Good Job. I can never tell either, but then I look back at pictures and I can really tell! So maybe you should look st some old pictures and take some new ones!

Isn't that the best feeling??? I love hearing from people, especially people I don't see too often, that I look like I lost weight, etc. It almost reinforces it for me. I'm down 34lbs and I can somewhat see I lost weight, but I have people telling me a lot that they can tell.

Congratulations to you!! I hope you're on cloud 9 between your awesome weight loss and the compliments! You deserve it!

Good luck with the fill. Every pound counts. Our own brains are the last to see the changes. Not unusual at all!

      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. 🤞
