Wow! Y'all are doing great! I'm only down 18 pounds since surgery, but 49.4 since I began the pre-op diet. I've lost and regained the same .1 pound over and over during the last week.

I'm only down 18 pounds too. The weight is coming off really slow! I guess that's good for my skin!

I just wanted to check in to see how all the June 6 sleevers are doing. Here's my stats:

SW. 279

CW. 252

Height 5'3"

I feel good. Got my energy back. Started working out this week past and bought a fitbit to track my progress daily. It hasn't been easy but everyday gets better. Luckily I have a great friend who is a month before me. She's given me lots of advice and helped me when I was down. I'm not ready to say I love my sleeve, but I do like it!! Lol

So far, so good. Down 37 lbs since I started my pre-op diet. Had my one month checkup and was cleared for the gym so I have started that...my first workout with weights was my arms ... boy are they sore...but a good sore :)

I have been one of the fortunate ones...I have had no issues with food, energy or feeling sick. I have been able to eat everything allowed so far...am on soft foods now and am tolerating everything so far. My biggest problem is still eating too fast...and not being able to get in all the fluids. I also need to be more diligent tracking what I do eat to see if I am getting enough Protein.

Other than that...all is well. Hoping you all are doing well also!

That's awesome!! I'm 33lbs down. Constipation is bad but is a bit better since I have been eating Quest bars for Breakfast. They have 17g of Fiber. I still don't go everyday but when I do it's easier!!

According to my scale this a.m. I'm down 33 lbs! I bought a size 14 shorts & I'm determined to get in them by late September. 30 mins almost everyday on elliptical or treadmill & some weight lifting / ab crunches almost everyday should get me to my goal! BMI chart says I should be around 120lbs. WOAH!

47 for me. 19 pre-op and 28 post-op. I only weigh when I can't resist...usually 2 weeks.

We are all different , but we are all going in the right direction. :-)

        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.

      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
