Starting Weight 260

Day of Surgery 248

Today 249.5 :angry: Can't wait to be on losers bench!

You've obviously recently had surgery. I was over 10 pounds heavier than the morning I went to have my surgery when I first weighed myself my first morning home after surgery. It took me a whole week to lose all those 10+ surgery pounds. I will tell you that when my weight loss sped up it got a little exciting, even though I remind myself every morning that here in the beginning those numbers are going down fast because I can eat such small low calorie portions and my resting metabolic rate is still so high because I weigh so much and when I am exercising (cautiously walking because I am still less than 2 weeks post op) the shear weight of my body is working with me so that I am burning more calories without as much work.

Please don't be angry... You're almost to the loser's bench...

Oh, and I forgot:

Starting pre-op weight: 338.0

Day of surgery: 325.5

Today, 10 days post op: 315.0

I'm not sure where everyone is counting their total loss from, but I am doing day of surgery as my start weight. So... Total loss, 10.5 pounds.

Congratulations everyone on your losses.

Starting weight 234

Surgery day 4/30/12 215

Last week 185

This week 182

I've done zero exercise this week because of back pain. It's getting better so hopefully next week I'll lose a few more pounds than this week.

I'm still happy with 3 pounds though! :-)

      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. 🤞
