I'm 8 months out and only 35# down. Tonight I ate some spaghetti with Italian Sausage and I had to throw it up. This was the first time since surgery. I've been in a stall for 2 months and I'm sooooo discouraged. I contacted the Nut in Tijuana and was told to do weight loss shakes 3x per day one green salad or broth and Water. This was 3 weeks ago and I can't stick to it. I need some motivation...

I am 5 months out and 80 lbs. down stick to what you are suppose to eat and you will have greater success. Once you get to goal then you can try to add some of your favorite things back into you diet in moderation.

look to YOURSELF for motivation.... did you get half your stomach cut out for NOTHING?? Do you want to remain FAT & UNHEALTHY?? Look at yourself in the mirror...NAKED?? Do you want to remain like that?? Run up a flight of stairs... DO you want to be able to not HUFF & PUFF when you are done??

you are your own worst enemy...but you should be your own BFF....

shake it off, stop saying what you CAN'T do and just DO IT! Mind over matter...Drink the shakes...eat the salad...EXERCISE.... drink the water....NO EXCUSES!

Please say Yes!!! Can we drink muscle milk Protein Shakes. I drunk this shake with no problem :) first since surgery!!

I drink the muscle milk light when I do drink Protein shakes and they are good for you better than the regular muscle milk because of the sugar.

      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.
