Hi I'm 43 and I had surgery March 21st 2012...Losing has been somewhat slow rolling for me. 5 weeks out and I've lost 26 lbs. I read on here about a lot of people having lost at least twice that. Does anyone suppose that maybe because I'm middle age?

I'm 47, had surgery April 4 and I have lost 25 lbs so far. I would ask your Dr to make sure you are doing everything correctly.

Hi Panda

Have you taken your measurements? I have stopped losing as quickly as I was, but I have lost inches. I walk 5 days a week and am starting to get frustrated that I haven't lost anymore weight. But I know I am just impatient! lol

I am afraid of failing also! I lose weight, then to just put it + plus back on. I am thankful for losing the 28 lbs that I have, I don't want to sound greedy. Maybe I will start using the elliptical and see if that makes a difference. Good luck Panda!

Thank you...as of today I'm down 28 lbs also...28/5=5.6...I guess that's not too bad. I am impatient as well. Or I just want to lose like everyone else! Lol!

Hello Panda and Txs, They say it's basically natural for us to worry about not losing weight after going through this...mainly because all other diets have failed but, my surgeon says they've yet to have folks not lose with it. Our bodies do rebell though...so just keep eating the way your nutritionist told you, take your Vitamins, get your Water in and do the exercise and the scale will budge.

I haven't had the surgery yet...but working on it. I"m thinking I may end up with surgery in June depends on how long it takes for the paper work.

        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
