40 Lbs Lost In Two Weeks...



Recommended Posts

Today I have lost a total of forty pounds and it has only been two weeks and two days post op... I would be worried that is a little fast but I am celebrating this victory... Before I considered surgery the most I lost was fifteen pounds only to gain it back quicker than I lost it... Now to date I am almost half of what my goal weight loss is only sixty more to go...

I'm very jealous but extremely happy for you. These last 14 lbs have been the hardest to lose. :(

I'm feeling pretty good! I have pain in my stomach region. No other issues though. I'm getting discharged soon. I had some yogurt and skim milk this morning. How are you handling full liquids?

Barely. I just don't have any desire to ingest anything. I'm forcing myself every few hours to have a few ounces of a shake and a bottle of Water. food in general just sounds grose! I was pretty sore and campy

I was pretty sore and crampy thismorning, but once they pulled the drainage tube I had instant relief. I am having an issue with my left eye being completely dialated while my right eye is normal. Doctors are thinking its related to the patch I was wearing behind my left ear for Nausia. Some kind of reaction. We're just watching it real close. Glad you are doing ok!

I'm sorry to hear about that. I hope that they can figure it out soon! I was fortunate to not have a drainage tube. They are miserable, so I feel for you. I had major surgery on my left shoulder in 1998 and I had 3 drain tubes for about a month. They are terrible. I'm still having some abdominal pain and I'm sure that will continue for a little while longer. I feel like the easy (surgery) part is over. I feel that the hard part is learning how to eat right, staying active and getting all the Protein in. I know the Protein is the key!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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
