Anyone sleeved that day? Where are you at in progress? Pre surgery weight was 218. Today I am 169! One more pound to the 50 lb drop mark.

I was sleeved August 7, I'm have lost 69 lbs, I started at 347 now at 277. I'm feeling really good except I still get tired quickly. It is surreal to think the weight is coming off when I always feel full. I never felt full before surgery, I could eat a whole pizza myself, and whenever I dieted I was always so hungry and miserable. I love my sleeve!

Awesome. I know what you mean about being full. I can eat a little more now which worries me a bit but I am extremely glad I did this. Starting to get a little sag in my tummy. Hope it will tighten with the gym.

I was sleeved Aug. 6th. Starting weight was 267, today's weight is 214, so a total of 53 down. I' m 5'5. Down from a 24 to a 16. I can definitely eat more now, but that sounds normal. It's healing. Just keep measuring your food.< /p>

Yeah that's a concern for me too, I have a large sag, comes from years of getting overweight. I just have the hardest time finding the energy to get to the gym. You would think chasing around a three year old would count for something! I have been doing free weights and cardio at home, but I have a nice size hernia so sit ups are out until that is repaired. My surgeon wants to wait for some weight loss. Even with saggy skin, I wouldn't change my mind about the surgery. Skin tucks much better than fat!

      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
