Am I Losing Enough?



Recommended Posts

I am 5 weeks and two days post op.. I've lost 32 pounds but for some reason I just feel like its not enough! I have had no problems other than sleeping and I hate Protein Shakes but I think I am gettin an obsession with the scales! How are others doing at 5 weeks?

In five weeks I've lost seven pounds. So shaddup!!

Just kidding.

I really have only lost seven pounds. I'm doing what I'm told, except perhaps enough Water. I'm hoping upping that will help.

Down 34lbs since preop diet (started 4.5 weeks prior to op).

Yeah. I'm a bit bummed.

Everyone loses differently. The heavier you are and the more weight you have to lose will cause you to lose quicker then someone who has less to lose. I am 10 weeks post op and have lost 48 lbs. I sometimes too feel that I should be losing more but then realize that it is just good to be losing anything. Kewep up the good work and try not to compare yourself to others.

Glad I am not alone. I am 4 weeks out tomorrow. I have lost 26 pounds since pre-op and sleeve on April 10th. I am dying here. The scale does not move.

I have even been able to eat a medium piece of talapia. I am wandering if I am doing something wrong. Everyone else seems to be losing more.

I do have a thyroid issue and I am working on stabilizing it with medication.

It makes zero since to no lose since I would have have eaten the entire house and now just very small meals about six times a day either tuna or talapia.

Help?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
