Only 25 Down, But At Least There Are 25 Gone!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on May 24 of this year. The first two weeks, the weight came off vigorously! I wish I could say the same since then. Fortunately, a measly 25 lbs makes the biggest different already in how I feel physically and mentally. I am steadily losing ounces day by day, so at least I've not gained or completely stalled. Keeping the faith!

These are before and after pics so far! The one in the silver dress is before.

You do look great in both pictures... You are very beautiful, very stylish. I too had surgery on 5/24 and have also lost only 25 pounds and in the same manner... First two weeks were a major drop, a pound here or there for the next week and a half and nothing for a week now. It's a little aggravating because I'm impatient but I'm positive it will get moving again. If I lose slowly like this for the next year I will still be happy. Are you exercising? I started about 2 weeks ago but not intensely. I'm amping it up this week. Just out of curiosity what are your stats? I'm a shorty @ 5'2". Started at 215 and now I'm 190. My starting BMI was 38. I'm not sure if that's what the consider a low BMI'er or not. Good luck to you!

Hi! I believe my BMI was also 38 or 39. I am 5'10 and started at 270. I am at 245 now. I started Zumba three days a week two weeks ago, and I started losing weight a little more quickly.

      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. 🤞
