1 Month Anniversary....down 27 pounds



Recommended Posts

It's been one month and I feel great! I've already lost 27 pounds, have more energy, seem happier, (even ask my husband...LOL) and am enjoying the thinner me.

I have had a few days were my weight will jump up a pound, then go down a pound or even stay the same but my body is still trying to figure out what I did to it! I know I am losing inches because I can get into clothes I couldn't before. I can actually either zip or button things I couldn't a month ago.

I also have a thyroid problem that made it hard to lose weight. I lost more in the last month than I did dieting all last year! This was one of the best things we could have decided to do.

Best wishes to all and hopefully you feel as great as I do! :thumbup:

Glad to hear of your success so far. My sleeve date is close to yours. I was sleeved on 5/25/10. I have currently lost 17 pounds. My clothes aren't feeling so tight anymore lol it feels so good to actually be able to button something up without straining and sucking in your gut! Last night I actually was able to remove my shorts without unbuttoning/unzipping them! Oh what a nice feeling that was!

I took have an underactive thyroid, so I have battled this weight for yrs.

Im having alot of heartburn that I hope will eventually go away. Other than that, things are great!

For the first time ever in my life I am so aware of everthing I put in my mouth and the nutritional value of it...This is clearly one of the best things I have ever done!.

Good luck to you!

Congratulations! Sounds like you're doing great!

How many calories are you getting in each day? Are you counting carbs?

I am consuming approx. 800 cal. a day. Trying to take in at 60-80 g of Protein. Keeping the carbs and calories low.

I couldnt stand the taste of the chewable vitamins that I bought from my surgeon, so I am currently taking the Centrum chewables, plus the sublingual vit B.

Im trying to take in 64oz of Water, but I have to admit, some days I dont get it all down.

I haven't really been counting anything to be honest. I have had chicken, tuna, scrambled eggs, hamburger, things like that. I eat until I feel like I'm feeling full...(which isn't much) I bought a whey Protein powder from GNC and use that in milk.

We went out to eat Breakfast and I ordered 1 scrambled egg and a side of sausage. (The side was 3 links). I ate the egg, 1 sausage link, and stole 1/2 piece of hubby's bacon. I gave him one sausage link and brough the other one home with the orange slices they put on your plate.

Can I ask what you are following? I'd like to know if I should be doing something better. Thanks.

      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. 🤞
