65 pounds in 6 months? That's ten pounds a month, or 2.5 pounds/week, which is pretty much perfect. I'm sure it feels slow compared to some, but that's amazing progress!

I'm not completely for sure. I've heard you lose the most the first year ... I've heard at 6-8 mo it slows down ... I've heard people still lose after 2 years. I don't know what is going to happen. LOL I'm just rolling with it!

I don't think there is a true answer to your questions, because everyone is different. My outlook has always been if the scale is still moving down things are great, if it slows or stops I wait a week and check again. Good Luck.

I'm also 6 months out (sleeved 2-8-13). I have been struggling the last month. I was 203 this morning (262 on surgery day) and keep going up and down 1 pound daily for the entire month. It is irritating, but I just believe that I've gotten to the point where it will be really slow now.

Im a slow loser too. I've lost 18 lbs in the last 6 wks. But I started at 174 (slipped lapband) so I knew Id lose it slower. I also know they sy the last 20 lbs are the hardest and I have about 26 lbs to go so I know I will really start slowing down. Already seeing that. The last 6 days I bounced begween 158 to 157. Tnis morning I finally made it to 156. So relieved the scale is finally moving.

It'll eventually all come off. I believe in the school of thought that the slower u lose it the longer ull keep it off

I get this if I don't chew well enough. Watch your chewing and see if that helps.

        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
