You're doing great! Don't compare yourself to others because everyone's body is different. I would focus on your plan and keep doing what you are doing. It will come off... besides (I know I said don't compare) compared to others your start weight is considerably low (in weight loss surgery contexts). In total, you have lost 44lbs. What diet could you get on and loss 44lbs in a month?

Hi, I was sleeved on June 3rd.
HW-246
SW-239
1st Appointment 1 week post-op-243 due to receiving lots of IV fluids before and after surgery.
Current weight-224
I have a question. do you think I'm loosing weight too slowly? I count my SW as my starting weight and I've lost 15lbs. I expected to loose 20-22lbs the first month. I am 3.5 weeks post-op currently. I try to to compare myself to others and their weight loss.

You cannot compare yourself to others. Can't Can't Can't! You'll just end up frustrated. I think to think of what I am doing differently this time compared to last time I tried to lose weight. Am I going to the gym more, eating better choices? It sounds selfish but focus on you!

SD:4/16/14 - SW: 300 - CW: 234 (Down 66lbs) I am little excited... I had a big lose this week. I lose 4.2lbs this week and since I saw Dr. Singh 15lbs. My goal weight by July 7th next visit with Dr. Singh is 229 (per my scale - his scale is always slightly different from mine).

I intensified my workout a little, made sure I rested my muscles after intense workouts, watch my Water and Protein intake. I've also been working out almost daily.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
