Recommended Posts

If so... how much did u lose and how fast? I know everyone is different...just trying to gauge my expectations. I have one month after surgery before returning to work. Will I look or feel any different? This is my highest weight and I am soooo uncomfortable. I f eel better around 175...never been lower. I am hoping to feel better soon!

Everyone is different so it would be tough to say. Depends really on your metabolism, age height etc... I started at 220 I am 5'2 and 49 I think I lost like 17lbs my first month. I have seen some lose a lot more and some a lot less.

How tall are you because bmi plays a factor but so does a lot of other things like age, genetics, etc.

When I started this journey I was at 198 and I am 5' tall. At surgery I was 180. When I went for my 4 wk post-op I dropped 25 lbs. I looked & felt better. Went to work after 5 weeks & it was very noticeable. Down 60 lbs total & it's been 7 mons.

I was 204 lbs. day of surgery. I am 5'3 and was sleeved 2/12. Currently I am 157 lbs. I have found that people that start out weighing less (200-215 lbs) lose the weight slower than the heavier sleevers (250 lbs +). My suggestion is do not compare yourself to other sleevers. Our journeys are all unique, but rest assured the weight will come off!

I was 200lbs day if surgery. I had my surgery on the 18 March. I am 5' tall. Yesterday was 15 weeks. I'm down 51lbs. And yes everyone is different. I lost 24 lbs the first 2 weeks and then gained 2lbs. Then sat for two weeks doing nothing. Hope all goes good for you. I still don't eat a lot. My typical day is a Protein Shake for Breakfast, a yogurt for lunch, then a couple of tsp of coleslaw and a small piece of meat at supper. Before I go to bed or in the evening I have a little snack.< /p>

        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
