Hello everyone I had some questions I had my Surgery on Oct 25th 2010 I was 256 before my surgery and day of Surgery I was 246 today I my weight is 199. I feel like I am losing weight very slow. Should I have lost more weight ... I need to make a little better choices eating or I should say eat more and I have a hard time remembering to drink Water I know that is horrible . Any suggestions I have also drank a little and I know that is bad so I am cutting that out . I am just a little scared at this point . I need to go in to over drive or something .

My surgery was October 27th, 2010. I weighed 241 on day of surgery. Today I weigh 195. My surgeon says I am doing better than the average. So I think you are doing fine. Everyone loses differently, but we seem to be hanging together.

You are not losing slowly, you are doing really well... keep up the good work.

In 6 1/2 mths I have lost 50lb... so as you can see you are doing well!! Remember everyone loses at different rates!

I think your doing pretty darn good. I was sleeved on Nov 9th and weighed 247 at the time of surgery and now weigh 210. So your by no means a slow loser in my book.

I'm almost exactly where you are and also feel like I'm in the "slow loser" category. My surgery was 10/26 and I weighed in at 232. Today I'm at 198. As nice as it would be to be a "fast loser", I'm counting my blessings that my skin is given every possible opportunity to tighten up as I lose. At least we are in the 100's!

You guys are actually losing quite well! I started at 250 at the beginning of my Options class orientation in the Summer of 2009, then was 242 at my pre-op and after my pre-op diet was 234.5 the morning of surgery. This morning I was at 197.5 and I was sleeved a month before you both :-) So personally, I think you are losing really quite well! Wish i were losing that fast!

      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.
