Looking For A Buddy With Similiar Stats



Recommended Posts

Hey everybody, I start my pre-op liquid diet this Tuesday 8/14 to be sleeved Tuesday 8/28. I'm looking for a buddy with similiar stats, and who has been or will be sleeved this month (August).

I'm 5'7", and I weigh 282. My surgeon's goal weight for me is 160, so I have 122 pounds to lose. Anybody out there similiar? Thanks

Hi,

I have number almost the same like yours. 5'7" started at 277lbs ( but I lost some). My surgery is 9/21. My goal is 160 but I will talk to surgeon in 2 weeks to find out his goal.

Great! I'm going to be looking for you guys online. I know we're not supposed to compare our weight loss to others, but I just like knowing who is in the same boat as me, in case I fall out and need a life saver, lol.

It is really helpful to talk to each other and know that something new what we feel is not actually that scared and someone else has this symptoms as well :) it make us more calm.

We are the same weight,but i am only 5'2. I am going to be sleeved mid September. I should have my exact date soon. It's hard not to compare other's with similar stats. It gives me hope when someone is similar to see their progress. Can't wait to get to know you better on our journeys!

I'm 5'6" and 255. I am supposed to also lose 122lbs. For some reason, I don't start the liquid diet until two days before surgery, which should be 8/21. I'm super excited to be able to shop in regular stores with my friends. I'm super freaked about saggy skin.

      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. 🤞
