Thank you but you will look amazing also! Just takes effort and dedication. Trust me I am no where near to how I want to look but one day at a time. You will see how great you will look and feel a few months into it.

From your profile pic it seems you dont need to lose anything or much. So if thats the case then yes it is normal to lose 1-2 lbs a week of you only have like 10 lbs left to lose.

I think if you stress about it then you won't see the weight drop. Just let your body take its time. A pound or two lost is still slowly getting to your goal. There's weeks I don't see no weight drop and I exercise and watch what I eat carefully. Then there's weeks I lose five pounds and worked out twice only or none and cheated on my diet with icecream or cookie or slice of cake because of a gathering I went to. So it's all up to your body at this point. Better slow so your skin won't sag.

7/27/11 Preop wt 284

7/27/12 162. 122 lb loss

Went to the beach and forgot my chair(rated for 300lbs). Sat on one of my friend's flimsy beach chairs. It was comfy and I didnt need to worry about it breaking. Last year I would no have fit in it..

Aarval I got stuck in the 180's too. Joined Water aerobics and I started losing again. It's fun and I like going which is a plus.

        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
