That's AWESOME that you're losing wt now. The doctors like to see that because it gives them a sense that you're serious about wls. I could have had my surgery sooner, but I had gained wt over Christmas and New yrs. I went from 316 to 322. And that's when I told myself that its now or never and starting on Jan 3rd I went from 322 to 287 on the day of surgery 4/9/13 and today I'm at 256 with a goal of 235 by 7/10/13 at my 3mos post-op appt. Each time I challenge myself...it gets easier by the day, but some days I just can't get anything down so I pray and slowly my appetite starts to come back. You'll see when you're on the other side that each individual is unique in their own way with wls.

@Jessica anything and everything counts! I try not to over do it because exercising take a lot from us because we're consuming so little at a time. So its a learning process for me to take it easy both in exercising and eating lol. My eyes and mouth are way too big for my little tummy at times, but slowly we'll all get the hang of it.

I have been doing good. Progress has been pretty steady. Surgery was 3 months ago, I'm down 30 lbs since. 50 lbs total. I think the only struggle I have now is taking my Vitamins. I keep them on my desk at work and still forget to take them! LOL! I have the memory of an old lady!

How have you been doing???

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
