At my 2 week they checked my incisions and said yes

I started riding the bike 4 weeks post op. I just can't do stuff like sit-ups or heavy lifting (even though i started weights too)

I'm six weeks out. Was approved to exercise at two weeks. I have been riding an hour per day for four weeks with good results. Good luck and congrats!

I'm 7 weeks out and I've only lost 33 pounds. Would you mind telling me what your diet is like? I find that I can eat so much more than others. Probably about a cup of chili, 5oz of chicken, and other foods all in excess. How much food do you eat? You seem to have great weight loss results!

Isn't 7 weeks/33 lbs good? Was is the expected weight loss after 2 months?

I'm not really sure what the expected loss is, but by 8 weeks I was hoping to be down 40 pounds. I know these things take time, but maybe I'm just too impatient!

It's a myth that most sleevers can only eat 1 or 2 bites after surgery. Those are the stories we remember, but plenty of people can eat more like what you describe....I could, and I think I've lost a fair amount of weight. Just remember, you don't have to eat your sleeve's limit. Weigh those portions and stop there. You won't be full, but you won't be hungry and you'll lose weight just the same.

      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. 🤞
