I'm down 20 lbs today! That's counting from the post op diet. I was sleeved 3/27 and 12.2 lbs since surgery. I had a week stall right after surgery and just broke thru this week.

I started exercising this week with 30 mins on the elliptical. My doc said I could start jogging if I wanted and weight lifting so long as it's nothing over 25 lbs.

I feel fantastic. I have so much more energy and so much less pain already. it's like even if I don't lose another pound I already feel like a winner. Of course, I HOPE I lose many many more pounds :)

How much have you lost so far? I'm down about 40lbs. I have been stalling off and on since week 2. It seems if I don't exercise I don't lose so I try to walk 4 days a week.

Happy 2nd monthly Anniversary !! Hope everyone is doing great.

I am losing very slowly these days. I started with around 195 and now I am around 170.

Have any one of you heard a rule that we are not supposed eat and drink together ?

Struggle with food choices over the weekends. There are too many parties and social gatherings.... It gets challenging to be on track.

Maya,

That was one rule my doctor and NUT were fanatic about - no drinking for at least 30 mins before a meal and 30 mins after a meal. They noted that avoiding this rule could lead to weight gain.

You may want to check with your doctor. Good luck to you!

Thank you Kelly ! I will try not to mix food and liquids together. I should check with my doctor as well. But it helps to know that I am not the only one :-) Do you know until when are we supposed to follow this rule.

Down 48 :-) my only complaint is back pain. Oh yeah and I still can't tolerate bread. That makes me kind of sad, but it could be worse.

      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.
