@ ready to lose it....I started out at 102 kg which was about 225 lbs and I had surgery at the beginning of march 2012. I lost most of the weight by November in about 9 months. I now weigh 72 kg which is about 159 lbs bringing my loss to 30kg or 66 lb. I did both metric and imperial measurements coz I haven't actually calculated before. I have 7kg to hit goal of 65kg or 143lbs.

Hi there!

First of all, you look amazing!! :-) but just wanted to ask a few questions if that's okay? I was wondering what sort of food you eat and how much you involve exercise in your life? It's pretty obvious you are looking GREAT!! & wanted to see what path you took (obviously beside the sleeve) to get to where you are today!! I am 4 months post op this month & have lost close to 60 pounds, which I am totally stoked about but just wanted to see what you did :-) !!

@alahana. Sorry the post got sent before I finished typing lol. Fat fingers when typing. Anyway the lunch is typically a Protein and some veg and the same for dinner. I don't always have good days I have a majorrrr sweet tooth so I do indulge I believe more than the average sleevers in cakes, cappuccino's and cola but I do work out more then. The key is to make sure exercise becomes a part of your life. I don't obsess over it but I do 20 mins of strenuous cardio and 40 mins of weight training 4-5 times a week. But I am a slow loser and I believe it's because I dont always make great choices

Good answer! I guess you still have to live life & I thank myself every day for getting the sleeve & not the bypass because I must admit, sometimes I have eaten the wrong food and I know I would have been very ill if it was the bypass I got!! Phew!! :-) well congrats because you really look amazing :-)

I definitely think the sleeve has way more benefits than the bypass so good on you. If you need any help along the way feel free to message me.

      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.
