Hi Everyone I haven't been on here for a long time. It's mainly because I've been discouraged. I'm now 9 months out and have only lost 2 pounds in the last 3 months. It's like my body has gotten used to the small amount of food that I'm eating and won't let go of anymore. I probably eat 1000-1200 calories a day. I also exercise daily but it won't budge. Is there anyone else out there who is experiencing this as well? I'm really down about it.

Hi, it'll be 10 months for me this week. I've lost two pounds this past month and only 40 overall to date. I'm hardly a success story! Haha

My 9 month check up was me at 200.1 and my doctor was so surprised I hadn't been easily under 200 yet. So they of course were thinking--- well she's not going on our success wall-haha

The way I look at it is that I've still lost 40lbs this year and nothing else I was trying would have done that for me.

I hope another -40 will be in my future and if it takes another year, well so be it! At least there is a possibility it'll happen more than ever before.

I have had a lot of issues in my way, horrible acid reflux, gallstone attack that damaged my pancreas and then resulted in removal of my gallstone. (omg pay attention to pains and get checked ASAP as it was the worst experiment of my life and 8 days in hospital)! And I broke an elbow in a fall and I'm just simply tired all the dang time, so it's been a rough year but every month I think it's better so I'm guessing I'm a slow healer as well as loser;)

Take it easy an just work at what u know you need and you'll reap the rewards!

      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.
