3.5 Months Post-Op=-72lbs



Recommended Posts

So today I am 3.5 months out and loving my sleeve more each day.

I can't believe how easy this process has been and I feel great!! My recovery was seemingly effortless and the weight loss has not slowed down as of yet. (knock on wood) Getting used to the new Way of eating has been pretty simple too. I've never been a junk foot eater and the last time I at fast food I was probably 11..So the transition from HUGE healthy meals many times a day to tiny meals has been easy with the aid of my sleeve. Even going in to surgery i didnt believe that i would be mentally satisfied with such little portions and I can now confidently say that I don't feel deprived in any way. I no longer have a constant nagging hunger like I did before. The head hunger hasn't really been a problem either...but like I said I didn't every crave bad stuff to begin with so maybe I'm just weird. Haha.

I am starting to notice a bit More Hair loss then pre-op but nothing I wasn't prepared for. I keep my protien over 70g and take my Vitamins and Biotin daily so I know that I am doing everything I can to minimize the hair loss. I've accepted that I have to let this run it's course for now.

We recently purchased a home and have been moving, painting and sorting like crazy for the last 2 weeks so I have been unable to update my YouTube vlog. The Internet is going to be installed on Tuesday so I will be able to update then. (posting from phone for now.)

Thank you to everyone here for being so informative..you have all helped me on my journey thus far more then I can even express.

If any pre-ops or newbies have questions for me please feel free to ask away.

      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
