I began excercise one week after surgery just made myself now it is a habit I look forward to. I own an elliptical machine and treadmill no gym and have hand weights. I put in my earbuds and listen to music and go to town.

Down 53 pounds as of today, knock on wood, while I had 3 seperate weeks of very little weight loss, now I've been on a roll and it's been coming off fast. As I approach the 3 month mark, I am hoping I can keep it up enough to get to under 200 by the 6 month mark!

11 weeks out today. I have lost a total of 66 lbs, 45 since surgery. I know that I am not exercising enough and I think that the weight would come off quicker if I did more. I still cannot eat more than 2 oz. of dense Protein at a time and it still amazes me that I am satisfied with that.Overall, I am very happy so far with my loss. I also am very close to Onederland and I am hoping to get there in the next week or so! Yay! :D

HW-277; pre lap-band in 2006

SW-222; Sleeve date 7/16/13

CW-186.3

Extremely happy that I made the decision to revise from band to sleeve. Sometimes wish I was losing faster; but glad to be steadily losing and hopefully will have fewer loose skin issues since listing more slowly.

Having done both, I was curious of any major things in how you feel that are different. Thanks and congrats!

I am much happier with the sleeve. Had a lot of issues trying to get band regulated with fills/unfills; thin it slipped & caused hernia. Haven't had any of the "food getting stuck" issues since sleeved either like I did with band. Wish the sleeve would have been around when I had the band.

Today at my Endocrinologists office (diabetes) I almost got off insulin shots however the pills he wanted to give me was on before on the past. The med. Metformin caused such bad stomach upset in the mornings I thought I had IBS until I stopped taking it so I refused and requested another pill. End result still on shots lower dose again. I go back in January.

I am almost 10 weeks out and have only lost 33 lbs since surgery 7/31. It is 3.3 lbs a week which should be considered good but not by my hospital! However, my new NUT (the old one moved) said due to my 42 lb pre-op loss that I was probably plateauing as my body adjusted. 29 she said anyday I should start seeing more rapid loss.

I do need to exercise more but my work hours suck and I can only workout on days off whish is 2 days a week. I want to get a more fixed schedule (why I am looking for a new job) so I can exercise more regularly.

I have had to buy new clothes though. Out of 30/32s and into solid 26/28!

        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.

      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
