I lost weight in my face first followed by my feet. After that there was a mass exodus of fat from the stomach. Chest and arms leaned out. Now I lose it from all over and don't really notice a specific location getting smaller. That said, I have dropped 10 pant sizes and 3 shirt sizes so far on this journey. I could not be happier about this progress.

I've only noticed in my face a little bit so far, but I notice my clothes are starting to fit a little better too, but I don't see that I really look thinner yet, but it's still early, it will take a while to see it myself, after so many years of being overweight.

First noticed in my face as well, but not a lot. I am 4 wk post op an have been stalled for 2 wks with any scale loss. However, I plan to do my measurements on the anniversary of my sleeve every month (idea from another post on this site) and today was my first post op measuring. Lost 4 inches in bust, 2 inches from my hips, 1 inch from my waist and 2 inches from each arm. However, gained an inch on thighs and an inch on the calfs. All in all, glad with results. It does help when you don't see the scale moving.

To OP, don't worry. You will see the difference in your face soon. It's probably already changing just too subtle right now for you to notice. One morning you'll wake up, look in Tue mirror and TADA!! Hang in there! :)

I've noticed my butt shrunk!! Also my boobs and back fat. Tummy & hips still here. Oh, and my calves!! They are now tiny!! Very odd. As a result, it really hasn't been a huge diff. People tell me i look healthier and have more color in my face. I honestly think it's also inflammation has decreased. That's why i won't go back on carbs. Anyone w previous joint issues should pay attention to that. :-)

        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.

      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
