Scale FINALLY moved! Sleeved on 3/19



Recommended Posts

Since my surgery I've avoided my scale like the plague! I read so many stories on here about being discouraged because there's no/not much loss in the beginning. Well this morning, I put my big girl panties on (pun intended) and stepped up there like a champ! Low and behold, I'm down 8 1/2lbs since 3/19! Whoo hoo! *doing the cabbage patch* Hope everyone is doing well!!

I've been getting on daily. I guess I better hide my scale then. My surgery date was 3-19-13 and I'm down 5 pounds. Good for you with 8.5!! Woohoo!

Thank you!! I was 251 day of surgery and 242.5lbs today!! It's probably because I wasn't drinking the Proteins shakes like I should. Now that I'm drinking them like directed I will probably start losing slow or (gasp) gain! Either way it's moving in the right direction!! Lol! Congrats on your loss and your surgery! Wishing you the best!! Whoo hoo!

I lost pretty quick the first 2 weeks, then hit a wall. So, I killed my scale. It is not my friend, it's my enemy. There's no reason for me to fret each day I step on the scale and get pissed off and want to kick my dog. So, in light of resetting everything, my emotions and attitude, I'm not going to let that piece of glass and plastic decide how I feel today. I started weighing only once a week, sometimes not even that. I honestly don't care anymore about weighing. I do what I'm supposed to. I get my calories in, my Protein in, Vitamins, etc and I bust my ass in the gym and during workouts. I know I'm getting healthier, I don't need a number on the scale to tell me that.

Congrats on the weight loss and the beginning of your new life. It's exciting!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
