Hi Eveyone. Hope y'all are having a great day. I've been reading some posts on here about weight loss really slowing down during months 6-12. Is this true? One person said their doc said she should've lost more weight in her first 6 months and now she probably won't make goal. I'm really worried about this. I haven't lost a ton of weight since my sleeve date but I think my numbers are pretty good. Will my weight loss really slow down next month when I enter month 6? I have another 63 pounds to lose before I make goal. I didn't have this surgery to still be a fatty.

Please share your experiences with me and let me know how the weight loss went during the 6-12 month period.

Thanks everyone.

Like I said in the other thread, the sleeve does not have an expiration date. As long as you follow the sleever rules, you will continue to lose weight. You have the ability to hit goal and even go beyond.

Will your weight loss slow down? Yes, but that's true with any weight loss program. The lighter you are, the less calories it takes for you to sustain your life. In that case you will need to bump up your calories out by being more active or getting more workouts in. You'll also need to be really good with what you are consuming.

I wanted to get to goal as quickly as possible so I did everything I could. Now I'm 10.5 months out and undereating my sleeve and eating Protein first are habits. I lost weight every month and only noticed my weight loss slowing down in month 8 and 9, but I still lost 7 lbs each month.

There are some clinicians saying crazy things to people but I am saying that if you want to lose all your excess weight or more, you can.

Here's my first 12 month breakdown...and I have since lost 1 additional lb. since without trying. You can see where it slowed down. That's why encourage all pre-sleevers to lose as much as possible before getting sleeved. I really believe that helped me to get to my personal goal.

  • 16.6 lbs-1st mo Aug 27 to Sept 27
  • 7.0 lbs-2nd mo Sept 27 to Oct 27
  • 6.8 lbs-3rd mo Oct 27 to Nov 27
  • 8.2 lbs-4th mo Nov 27 to Dec 27
  • 3.0 lbs-5th mo Dec 27 to Jan 27
  • 4.4 lbs-6th mo Jan 27 to Feb 27
  • 1.8 lbs-7th mo Feb 27 to Mar 27

        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
