Hmmmm let's see. Well I reached my goal at 9 months out (150) and dropped 6 more lbs after that...at 1 year post op I was at 145. At 14 months post op I dropped to 144 without trying, and it scared me a little because I had reached the goals I had set for myself (fit in my wedding dress and obtain a normal BMI) and was happy with that, and didn't really want to get any lower. So I started adding more calories/fat to my diet and was able to stay within the 5 lb fluctuation. These last few months I seem to be hanging more at 147-148.

So to answer your question, I lost 1 lb after 1 year post op (without trying).

No offense taken what so ever! I agree I do look different LOL! Thank you! I didn't recognize myself for over a decade. I would see me in the mirror and see my eyes but not recognize me :(...it's good to be back :)

I can't wait to get ack there too. Down 40 lbs since my March surgery, have 60 to go. I've been in huge stall so hearing success stories is what helps keep me motivated. I agree with the others, you were pretty before and you are pretty after, but now you look so happy and healthy. I cannot wait for to be there with you. Great success story. Thanks for sharing.

      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.
