How Much Weight Loss Can I Expect?



Recommended Posts

Amazing Vamp! You look terrific! Btw...how did you lose 20 lbs in one week? I'd love to know how to do that.

Thanks! I just started going back to the gym for 2 hours a day!

Hi Vamp! Would you mind sharing some info with me? What gym do you go to and do you have a personal trainer? I've been reluctant to join a gym. I'm fat, lazy, and sweat like a pig. I wouldn't be one of the "beautiful people" there. I know I need to exercise. I haven't done any at all since surgery on May 1. My arms and thighs are hideous so I'm going to have to do something. I hate to admit it but I have a beautiful treadmill and my own in ground pool. I guess I'm just too lazy to live.

Don't be so hard on yourself kmiller! You just need a bit of self motivation. Who cares what people think at the gym. Do it for yourself, you will see that in no time you will begin to see a more sexier you!

Kmiller ! You are very beautiful! That is those ugly negative thoughts that are creeping in! I have hired a personal trainer to come to my house after 6 weeks..my surgery was May 30th and I want to be sure my pouch is healed before I start stretching those muscles. I decided to hire the trainer as I wanted to get the most out of my surgery as possible. We have a gym we can use at my work but I need someone to push me in the strength training dept. I am getting out walking every day - I set times of the day for me to go then I just go. My suggestion is to find something that you like doing then it will be more enjoyable. I found that out two years ago that cycling was my fav! I got addicted very fast! And even started a biking group that met after work once a week. The gym can be very intimidating but I have found that most of the people that go are there for the same reason as me...to get healthy. Best of luck and don't let those nasty thoughts keep you from accomplishing your goals!

I go to American family fitness! I don't have a personal trainer but I enrolled in something called amfam u it's an 8 week training course then you graduate and get a certificate saying you graduated its pretty neat! I lift weights 3 days a week and do cardio the 2 days I don't! I have the attitude that I don't care what people think of me so I just go and say the hell with those beautiful people! You can do it!!

        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
