Nealry A Year Already!



Recommended Posts

My year sleeve anniversary is almost a month away, on August 30. I have lost 95 lbs and feel amazing! I really want to be to my goal of 155 but know it might not happen. How have the rest of you got back/stayed on track at this point in your journey? I do well most days but slip more than I would like. Any tips?

Awesome! Congrats on your success! July 11 was my 6 month surgiversary. I've lost 70lbs till now and have 20+ pounds to lose to make my surgeons goal of 165. I think I can do it before my 1 year mark. My dream goal of 130 seems very far at this moment LOL!

What is your current weight?

I am 9 months post op and have lost approximately 77 lbs. I have a bounce of about 4 lbs periodically. I eat mostly Proteins and veggies. I don't like breads, pastas, rice, and have cut back on potatoes. I can actually eat more now than before. It is very easy to get off course and have foods I don't need to eat. I find myself eating mindlessly at times, but still can't get too much food in. I would like to get down to 135 lbs, but I haven't really lost anything for a few weeks. I really want to focus on eating healthy and lean for now on. I really have to watch fats and eat lean now. I love my sleeve! :)

Anyone having big issues with loose skin? I am planning on getting sleeved by beginning of August. I need to loose around 120-135 lbs. and am worried about alot of loose skin. I am big up top and bottom so hoping that will help but the arms and stomach skin are my biggest concern. Anyone got any advice?

      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. 🤞
