I'm not full in your requirements, but my highest was 289. Day of surgery was 273. Now I'm about 196, so 93 pounds down total, 77 since surgery. Oh, and I'm 5'7" if it matters.

I'm preop but I've seen lots of people here (and also on OH) lose over 100lbs with VSG. I get worried because my starting weight is quite a bit higher then a lot of the folks on here and have double that to loose so I hope and pray I can do it!

Hi there,

I am 5' 10", started process at 303 and today weigh 198. Goal is 170 and am 8 1/2 months post surgery. The bulk of the weight came off the first 5-6 months. It has taken me 3 months to lose 18 lbs, but I keep moving forward and exercise for 40 minutes 3-4 times a week, always get all of my Water in.

I definitely feel more hungry now, I still track carbs, calories daily through MFP. I think part of the reason for the slow down is I am getting closer and honestly, I am eating more (4 oz of Protein first ALWAYS). I go to see my surgeon next week for check-up, so we will see what they think. My calories stay under 1200, with a rare occasion they have gone up over the line but, by no more than 100. My son turned 17 last week and I had a small piece of his b-day cake but do not eat Cookies, pie etc. Not many sweets, or fruit either because I reserve for Protein and do not want to go over my counts.

Sorry more than maybe you wanted...have a great week.

It's not really a fear, but a concern. Since wait loss with the VSG can vary so much I briefly consider a different surgery for bigger losses, but then I remind myself of why I'm not doing the other possible surgeries. I have a large goal, and I don't hear many female VSG'ers in the weight bracket of near 300 getting down to 120-130lbs in a short amount of time if at all.

But congrats to everyo.ne else where ever they are in their journey.

Weigh 171 now

120 down

1 year and one month out :)

Want to lose 16 more, but ok where I am.

Will start to finally work out this week coming up. I hope I stick with it. Skin is pretty bad. Going for consult in August 3rd for inner thigh lift. Wouldn't have the surgery until January.

I want to enter the whillimeana 30+ model contest. I actually want to model...which is what I should have done had I not been fat.

I started at 352 before my pre-op diet. I'm 5'8 and I'm 10.5 months out and 110 pounds lost. I see and feel my goal weight coming. It IS doable!!! :) At goal, I will have lost 162 pounds and I'll reevaluate my goal at that point. I'm seriously considering plastics as well, breast lift/augment and Tummy Tuck because it's looking like I will need them. :)

You can be a plus model. I was briefly in the plus modeling world. Especially since you have the height. Go for it.

        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
