Hey friends! I lost 2.1 lbs this week, weighing in at 229.2 lbs today. I am very excited to be out of the 230s finally! And this means I met my Halloween goal of 230 lbs nine days early! I may be losing slow but I do love my sleeve :-)

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

I am down 3 pounds this week after stalling last week. I really wanted to be under 200 by Halloween. Looks like I will probably fall just short. I am however very very thankful for my sleeve....and shocked at the difference it has made. Down 41 lbs since surgery and 56lbs since the start of the year.

Down another 2...still the same issues with the big d and not able to eat much in dense Protein. I did eat half a meat sandwich yesterday and did not feel sick so I was happy about that. Still love my sleeve tho!

I've been weighing every day, but I basically lose nothing all week, then have little mini-whooshes on the weekend. I think its because I'm currently working 2 jobs (one is just Monday-Thursday) so I'm not sleeping more than 6.5 hrs/night. For some reason, my body doesn't like to lose weight when I'm not getting enough sleep.

As of yesterday, I was 211.5, which is just under 30 lbs down, including the pre-op. Tomorrow will be 2 months since surgery. That's only 20 lbs since surgery - 10 lbs/month. I feel like I'm a REALLY SLOW loser, and it is so frustrating.

I've been having problems getting all of my Protein in because I just haven't been able to force myself to drink my Protein shakes. I know this is really bad, and I'm going to get back to business this week.

I lost 2.2 last week and I am at 201.4 - SO close to Onederland I can taste it!! I have a check up with my surgeon on Thursday and I would love to be under 200 but I have been a fairly slow loser so don't know if I'll be down under there before Halloween. I'm crossing my fingers though! :)

I weigh every day... I guess I should pay attention to my weekly loss, but I just follow my totals... 30 since surgery 80 all together. I am now halfway to my initial goal. I still can't get in much more than 600 calories or 3oz of solid protien.

Hi everyone...sorry for posting so late. I am down to 205. I have been craving olives and gouda cheese like crazy. But since TOM has completed I don't want either as much as the week before and during cycle. I did loose 7 lbs--I think last week. Leg is really bothering me. I have one more month before my surgery.

Hubby ticked me off said my skin is getting soft, I need to workout so it can be tighter. I almost slapped him. Its true I need to get in the gym with the weights but my right arm is killing me. I have to work it out some way. I'll go tomorrow since I will have access to the car.

Have a greta week everyone.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
