Beginning of 2 week pre-op: 235 lbs

Day of surgery (20 Aug): 214 lbs

3 weeks post-op (9 Sep): 206 lbs

I'm so discouraged with how little I've lost since the surgery.

I'm walking 2 miles every morning and every evening.

I get in the required amount of Water and Protein every day.

I'm still on pureed foods but I vary the foods I eat for every "meal". I'm eating about 2-3 oz every 2-3 hours but within an hour of eating, I'm extremely hungry. I wait as long as I can before I eat again. After eating or drinking, I'm plagued with heartburn. I'm getting about 500 - 600 calories every day. My body functions are regular.

What can I do so I'm not SO HUNGRY?

What can I do to prevent heartburn?

Why am I losing so little weight? (8 lbs in 3 weeks!)

Help!!!!

Hi I wanted to post this so the August ppl can log our success and weight lost so far..

My Surgery date 8/8/2013

highest weight was 220' date=' surgery weight 213, current weight 195

All in all I've lost a total of 25 pounds and so happy I lost 7 pounds on my two week preop than the rest the first week post op.. I was stuck at 196-200 until yesterday and now I have lost another pound and that makes me happy to know that the scale started moving back the right direction again!! :)

I would live to hear from other August sleevers :)[/quote']

My surgery was 8/8 as well..starting weight before preop 230..day of surgery 216..current weight 193! scales not moving much but at least its creaping slowly IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!!

Highest weight: 303

Weight after pre-op diet/date of surgery 8/27: 280

Current weight: 259

If you are having trouble getting in Protein try mixing a bottle of Isopure with 1 quart of Water and a large packet of crystal light. I drink that all day and it gives me 40g Protein and 64 oz. of Water.

I am still having a hard time finding a Protein shake that I like, but this helps me a little.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
