If you will go back to page one and start reading, you will see that everyone that has the surgery goes thru this stage, and the answers are always the same. I remember the journey very well as I would stall for months at a time. That is when I decided to stay off the scale and use clothes to see how I was losing. you will lose inches but not a pound. Your body is fighting to keep your weight, but eventually it will let go. Best of luck to all of you.

Sleeved on 9/11 and I Have lost a combined total (pre op and post op) 48lbs. But like a poster stated before, I mow get acid reflux with just about everything I eat. But a small price to pay in my opinion.

Did your doctor prescribe an antacid? Mine did ever since surgery, in case that were to happen, and I haven't had that reflux far.

I was sleeved on sept 4th. So almost 8 weeks. Today I am down 26 pounds from surgery. Doesn't seem like much compared to some others, but trying to take it one day at a time. I know it will come off. Been having trouble getting my Water in everyday.

I've been having trouble getting my Water in as well. I'm 4 weeks and 2days post op, and as of today, I have lost 16lbs since surgery. :-/ I guess as long as we know it will come off, and take it a day at a time, we'll be ok.

My nutritionist told me all liquid counts when you're struggling. Eventually you'll get it all in. :-). Best wishes!!

I'm not losing as some are, but I can feel my body shrinking. I'm almost 4 weeks out and dropped a full size. My bras are getting too loose too. I am going go by my clothes and not my scale weight. Screw that darn thing right now. Lol. I did just drop two pounds this week, but I was stalled for a week. I almost got discouraged, but I caught myself and stayed focused on my journey of a healthy living lifestyle. I fell better than I have in years. :-). Best wishes!!!!

      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
