Yesterday was my one month "surgiversary" I am down 16 pounds since surgery and 27 pounds since pre-op diet. I was hoping for a little more weight loss in the first month, but I feel good. I get full on small amounts of food, and don't have the junk food cravings that I did before. I never had any pain or nausea to speak of. My incisions are tiny, and I don't notice them at all. I don't have any heart-burn. I attribute this to Dr. Watkins fixing my hiatal hernia. I am a happy girl, and I am hopeful that I can reach my goal of dropping 100 pounds in one year. I think I lost about the same amount of weght when I was on weight watchers, but the difference is that I am going to actually keep it off this time!

My experience is very similar to yours. I'll be a month out Wednesday and am only down 13 lbs since surgery. I also expected it to be more but am trying to be happy with the loss. I also had my hiatal hernia repaired. I can really tell a difference in how it makes me feel. I don't have heartburn and I have so much more energy. I lost over 100lbs before on my own but like you I'm thinking this "tool" will help me keep it off instead of regaining it plus more.

Good luck to you as you continue on this journey! I'm sure you will lose 100lbs in no time!!!:D

Congratulations! I think you are doing great. I read success stories of people who lost 25lbs the 1st month and more.. I think we should be grateful for WEIGHT LOSS of any amount the 1st month.. That means you are doing really good. I am two weeks out and I wanted to be down more that what I am but I wont weigh again until my one month anniversary. I think some of us just lose slower than others and thats fine.. Means we stand a better chance of long term weight loss. Keep up the good great work!

Congrats!! You are doing great and I totally agree about keeping the weight off this time. Are you exercising and getting enough Water? I found that those were 2 key factors to help me. Good luck on your journey and congrats again on your weight loss!

Good for you, weight is weight right? I agree with Genepha, the working out and getting plenty of Water really helped me be consistent in my weight loss. We'll see how it goes now that I am pregnant!

Hey there! It sounds like you are doing GREAT!! AND you're doing better than I am on the weight loss. I have been in a stall for 3 weeks now. I might be just now coming out of it, but not sure, yet. We'll see as the week progresses. I'm SO glad you're doing so well.

Hey,

Thanks for the kind replies.

I also wanted to add that I am getting in some cardio, and I usually have anywhere from 900-1200 calories a day. I am finding it hard to get my Water in since I don't drink with my meals or for an hour after my meals. I also find it weird that sometimes I feel like I can eat regular portions, and other times I have about three bites and I am stuffed.

Slow weight loss and stalls... I've always believed that if you lose the weight a little slower, it helps your skin to adjust better and you don't get a flabby. I also believe that stalls happen when the body is saying "hold on here a bit, I need to catch up!". Just remember that all the organs in your body that have been overtaxed by excess weight need some healing and reorganizing time too. And yes I know this may sound like a rationalization, but it's kept me emotionally OK with stalls!

Yeah, I've noticed the same thing about volume. Weird...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
