HW May 2010-213 lbs.

SW July 2013-197 lbs.

CW Sept 2013-178 lbs.

Thanks fellow sleevers to have someplace to vent,

Honi

Hang in there AmandainSC. I am also a 7/29 surgery gal. Like you I have been stuck (at 31 down). Two weeks of really good exercise and nutrition choices and not an ounce lost. Frustration....you bet. My scales have just started to move again. Keep up your good efforts and yours will too

I was sleeved on September 10 pre op I was 293 and post op I was 273. Last week I I was 264 and my current weight is 270. Is it normal to gain weight back even when sticking to the diet? I'm feeling really discourage right now and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

Are you ummm... going to the bathroom? Constipation can make you gain temporarily.

Sleeved July 25th (2 days to 10 week mark, this Wed) and 23.8lbs down w/ 52.6 to go. Stalled from week 3 to week 7. Started losing weight week 8. Down 5lbs in the last two weeks. So I'd say, weight loss is super super slow! I'm barely even making a crawl.

However, I'm down inches like no ones business. Down from a super tight/uncomfortable size 18 skinny jeans in waist to a super loose size 14, and a perfect fit size 12! Not bad my friends...not bad at all! My thighs didn't really need much, but those are tiny too. My legs are super muscular calves of sexyness (they sort of always were...but now...DAMN). My arms are down, my bra size is down 2 cups, however my band remain's the same (bra rolls anyone lol). My face! OH MY FACE I TELL YA! So slim. No double chin in sight. And sooooooo slim with all that natural contouring in my cheek/hollows etc. Nice!

So I'd trade inches over lbs any day! :)

I just hope to keep dropping the inches like this forever! HAHA!

      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.
