Weightloss for a new sleever



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on the 6th. My discharge nurse and papers told me to weigh myself everyday. Since last Monday I've lost 12 pounds.. Which I am happy with!! today when I weighed myself I didn't lose any.

Should I be concerned.... A couple of my friends told me not to worry about it .. But I just think with the sleeve I shouldn't of hit a day where I didn't lose any yet ! ??

There will be days, and even weeks where you don't lose anything, and they are normal. I recommend NOT weighing yourself every day, as it can drive you batty when you hit stalls.

I was also sleeved on may 6th . I've lost 12 pds also and the past 2 days me weight has been the same . I'm getting rid of my scale TODAY every time I go in the bathroom I weigh myself . I don't wanna go crazy about the numbers I know how I am that can discourage me. We gotta hang in there it's barely over a week.

Thank you all... I think the numbers game is going to drive me crazy ! But each day I notice a little difference in my self .... I will use this as my motivation now more than the numbers each morning ! ... At least I will try ! :)

I'm 6 days out and have weighted myself twice only because I don't want to drive myself crazy if I don't see the scale move. You will do fine just don't weigh yourself ever day. :)

I am ten weeks out and after a first week loss of 13 pounds, I lost NOTHING FOR THREE WEEKS! I almost drove myself crazy. But then, sure enough, it started to come off. Most weeks I have had a loss, but two weeks I did not. Pick ONE DAY of the week to record your weight. If you weigh other days, use it as a guide to see how you're doing. But remember, weight fluctuates so if you are one who will go nuts with a gain during the week, best to throw the scale out or just not weigh. We will all lose weight according to our biology, so we can't go crazy with what we can't control. Good luck to all.

My surgeon made us record our weight everyday. It really sucked! It was a happy day when I could stop. Now I only weigh in once a week! = )

      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.
