I was a little disappointed with the fact that next week I will be 1 month post op and I only lost 12 lbs. Then I refocused, realized I never lost that much that quickly and decided to focus on nsv's. I am down 2 sizes, my feet shrunk, my confidence is up, and lastly I went to the mall today for some shopping and for my daily walk and even got some admirers. Also for the first time in awhile I wasn't ashamed to be seen with my very thin sister!

Star,

I can totally relate, I too am a slow loser, but like you I had to give myself alot of pep talks. Also, I measured myself...a friend that had the surgery the same day as I lost 20 pounds in three weeks and ten inches and I lost ten pounds and 20 inches (six in the waist!). Soooooo...the scale is only half the story and inches the other!

I too am feeling better about myself...went shopping and bought once size down than before--Yay!

Slow loser here too, but you look fantastic and it sure looks like you've lost more! I just broke a two week stall where I lost no weight at all, but still dropped a full dress size. Betting you will have a similar experience!

You are doing awesome! Keep it up! Just wanted to tell you even tho you don't see it on the scale doesn't mean it's not working. I would always see it on my clothes then on the scale. I'm a year out and haven't lost anything since dec. but I've gone down 3 sizes. Just remember your body may be redistributing the weight. Good luck!

        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.

      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
