Almost 4 Months Out! :-)



Recommended Posts

I will be 4 months out on July 29th. I am down 84lbs and still losing steady. My starting weight was 330 and Im at 246. I feel great! My life has improved so much! My confidence level has gone up and I have so much more energy. If anyone is considering having this surgery my opinion is "GO FOR IT". I have had no complications and I have not stalled. (yet, Im sure it's coming) I had a hard time in the beginning up until a month or so out because I missed my food, but that has all changed now. I am changing mentally as well as physically. Something that I have realized that is kinda sad is that people treat me differently. When I am out in public(shopping or whatever), people talk to me more and are just way nicer. I even have men flirting with me...(which hasnt happened in years). Although this makes me feel good, its kinda sad that I am treated better because of my weight. I guess that's just how our society is! I have gone from a size 26/28 to 16/18. The only problem I have is that I am growing out of all my clothes. Well, I just wanted to update everyone on my journey and encourage us all to just keep going! God bless you all and good luck!!

Love to hear your story, thank you! You give me inspiration. I feel so down right now and its only my first week. I think its the lack of Protein so I got some Isopure which helped. Keep going, you rock!!!

      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
