13 weeks out with Pics.



Recommended Posts

Hey all.

Here's my summary as to how I am feeling at the moment.

I was sleeved 11/26. its been 13 weeks. Ive been stalled for literally a month. I feel like ripping my hair out as I am currently @ 250 pounds. My surgeon told me my weight loss goal would be to hit 200. So I have 50 pounds to go. I wanted to hit 175.

Others who were sleeved around the same date as me have posted that they've lost upwards of 60+ pounds already. i know everyone loses differently and all that jazz, but it still bothers me to be stalled.

I took pictures back in June while I was still in the process of becoming sleeved. I had forgotten about them, and I am SO GLAD that I took them.

In June in these pics, I was at 307. on my surgery day, I weighed 302.5 so I know these pictures, though 5 months before, are still pretty accurate as far as how I looked.

Right this very second, I weigh 247. Thank god that the scale looks like its moving :D

In 13 weeks, I have lost 55 pounds. I am not one of those amazing losers,I eat on average between 600-800 calories a day. I hit at least 50 grams of Protein a day which is low, and my Water intake is not that great either. I have lost an average of 4 pounds a week. Which is fine with me, hopefully it gives my skin enough time to make a come back.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE:

take pics pre-op. full body. all sides, naked or with a tight top on.

I have been depressed about my weight until I saw these pics. and looking through, I don't even recognize that girl anymore. and sadly enough, I never thought I was that big...

Stay positive, and Enjoy!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
