I'm so pumped. First two days sucked majorly but I'm awake today and walking around, releasing my trapped gas. So on a whim I decided to weigh myself. I'm not sure how accurate it is bc it's not my scale from home but at any rate I'm down approximately 17 pounds!!!! Give or take a few bc it's a different scale. Either way I'll take it. And that's with all this air in me. I can only imagine what it's like in a few weeks once the air is gone. I'm beyond happy!!!! Woohoo!

Well that weight loss includes preop diet. Again im at a different scale then I usually weigh at. I'm just glad to see it go down some. I'm curious what my first post op appt says. Either way the pain is worth it

The best part about the first two weeks is that the weight just melts off! It's enough to keep you going through the 3rd week stall.

Congrats!

I left the hospital 10 lbs heavier than I went in due to Fluid retention. My IV hand was so swollen it looked like a baseball mitt!

Because I am still carrying belly bloat I haven't weighed myself because I don't "feel" like I have lost anything. I am sure I have...how can you not when you don't eat any food...but I will wait till my appt on 4/15 to see.

Congrats to those that are losing! I hope to be a loser soon too! lol

      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
