Just a quick update. I just finished week 8 post-op. It hasn't been easy. I struggle with getting my required fluids and Protein on a daily basis. Everyday is a learning process but I'm glad to be on the journey. I lost 15 lbs pre-op on my 7 day liquid diet. I have lost 35 since surgery 8 weeks ago. I did have a 2 week stall on my third week. My favorite thing to drink is ice cold Water....I hated Water before surgery. I haven't started a work out routine yet. I'm trying to find the energy. I'm posting my progress pics, please forgive the horrible hair as the pics are taken before I get ready for work.

It is just so hard to believe the weight loss but I can't stop dreaming, thinking that could be me in the following year. Keep it up. Want to see more pics as you progress.

Thanks everyone. I'm finally starting to see a difference. It's hard to tell while you're going through it at first. I think it took me at least 35 lbs before there was any significant change in my clothing size. I wish everyone luck on your journey. It is definitely worth it.

Great job Tamboo!!! Thanks for posting your check-in... I certainly appreciate it. :) Keep up the good work.

For me I only see the progress in my photos. I rarely see it just by looking in the mirror. Strange huh?

I'm almost 4 weeks post-op, and smack in the middle of a 2-week plateau. I too lost 15 on the pre-op diet, and now love ice cold water! I hate that I've stalled, but it's so comforting to know that I'm not the only one and that it will happen. Even though I'm very disheartened now, I'm going to try like heck to get the losing kick-started again!

      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. 🤞
