Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on June 10th....(7 days ago), and I'm down 7 lbs. I feel like I'm slower than I should be :( I guess it could be the swelling and all? I don't know...

I was sleeved On June 11 my starting weight was 294... After the preop liquid diet for two weeks I was down to 280... And now six days. I am 273.. So I am down a total of 21 pounds...go us for Losing weight and getting healthy we are on the losing side.. Also my doctor told me only to weigh myself once a week.. LOL.. She totally knew that I was weighing myself multiple times a day... She also said take pictures.. So you can see the weight difference:)

I was thinking about you the other day and wondering how it was going! So we're in the same boat. Are you still swollen? Any pain?

Wow, you are all doing great! I weighed myself before I went to the hospital last Monday and weighed again this morning. I am only down 2.6lbs! A little discouraging, but I'm trying to be patient and see what happens in another week.

I don't think I'm swollen anymore. Not that I can tell anyway. I had some mild pain during the 1st 24hrs but I'm feeling great now!! :)

If you don't see huge drops the 1st week do not be discouraged!!!

Many of us gained 5-10 lbs in the hospital between the IV's and gas pumped into our bellys for surgery.

I know I gained as I could hardly button the shirt when I came home that fit fine when I went in and I only stayed 1 night!

I didn't weigh myself for 2 weeks as I didn't want to see an increase:)

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
