Yah that sounds like a lot. I was 270 due to fluids when I got home the 17th. Today I am 252.

Hi' date=' I also had same surgery date and I'm not complaining but I think the weight may be coming off too fast. I've lost 43 lbs and it kinda worries me. Does this amount this quick sound to much to anyone else? I've started eating scrabled eggs and drinking my shakes and keeping hydrated and the only problem I've had is Peanut Butter, which I'm definitely stayin away from. Sorry to ramble I just left the gym and was down 6 lbs from yesterday and it was worrying me.[/quote']

My fiancé had surgery sept 26 and has lost a total of 105 lbs- he started at 400lbs. The heavier you are and being a male, the faster you lose! Be proud of you rapid lose. It will even out in the end. Enjoy while it lasts!

      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. 🤞
