Oh that sucks when you are doing all you can to make the scale go down. I am only 19 post op so by far no expert but I'm whining about "only" loosing 20 lol. I saw another girl on here tonite who had her surgery the same day as me that has lost 30 pounds. So we all are going to the same place (skinnyville LOL) we just may not all take the fastest route. It just depends on your starting weight, how much Water and Protein your able to get in etc. Plus stalling in the first cpl weeks is super common and frustrating. Its really hard not to weigh every day, but try just every cpl days and you may be more encouraged by those numbers. Think long term. In a month from now you will be so happy with your numbers I'm sure :)

So are you saying that you have lost 21 pounds? In one month? I am still awaiting my insurance approval but, I know that there is no way that I could ever lose 11 pounds or 21 pounds in one month..

Keep your head in the game.. You are doing amazing and I know in a couple weeks you are gonna be singing a different tune!!!!

Good luck sweetie!

In my mind I justify my slower weight loss with giving my skin more time to shrink! Don't know if there is any science behind it but it makes me feel better, especially when my hubby is losing super fast (in my mind he is going to have a lot of loose skin! Lol). We went and saw my family and they were all oohing and ahhing over his "drastic" loss and barely said anything about mine even though I had not seen them since my surgery 2 months ago. Men suck...lol.

Honestly though, it took me longer to gain all of this weight than it is going to be to lose it, even if it is just 1-2 lbs a week...that can be over 100 lbs in a year!

      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
