Ok I guess last week, week 2 being a period week and only losing 2lbs was Water weight or something because this week I lost 7.5 lbs!!! SERIOUSLY... WOW WOW WOW... I had to check the scale 3x. That puts me at down 27 lbs in 3 weeks (no pre-surgical diet) I have been eating this week as well and was worried that I would gain for some reason.. this is AMAZING.. I'm starting to really notice a difference and am so excited!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE for all your support and encouragement so far!!

Good for you Chandra. Now, just keep the faith. Work thru any "stalls" with the knowledge you will see the weight come off. Be patient.

Have you named your new happy tummy yet.

It was about at week 2 I wanted to name mine. I was talking to it every day so I needed to name it. hahah it worked for me.

Way to go Chandra! Isn't it amazing how the pounds magically disappear. Then you may go through a month when you hardly lose anything, only to see it start falling off again. Don't be dismayed if this happens...the body needs an adjustment time now and then. Just keep on doing what you are doing and you will be at target before you know it! YOU GO GIRL!

      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.
