I just had my 6 month surgiversary. Didn't reach the goal I had planned for at 6 months, but I'm still extremely grateful to be down 52 pounds. I know I would never be here without the surgery. I want to lose at least 35 more pounds.

feb 21- wt 217. -15 pds

mar 21- 206. -11 pds (26 total)

Any tips from our Veterans? I am 5'6 and 54 years old.

I think you are doing a good job. i was sleeved the week after you 01/31/13. I am down 44.2 lbs. since surgery, 61.7 total. I am 5'5" and 56 (almost 57) years old. I hear your frustration and I am there with you. I thought I would lose quicker than I am. You know the saying though, we didn't gain it overnight and we aren't going to lose it overnight either. I keep saying to myself keep on plugging, you will get there.

You are doing great!Congratulations on the loss. The closer you are to goal the harder to get the pounds to come off I also have about 30 something pounds to go and it is difficult lately to lose more than a pound a week. Just stick to the basics 70 Protein, 64 Water , exercise and it will be gone eventually :)

I'm not losing very fast either. Lost 15 before surgery and 7 in the 2 months after. I'm only eating about 600 cal a day. Drink lots of Water and walk 1mile every other day. I will walk more as my arthritis and fibro will allow.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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
