Things have been slow this past month. But I have a feeling I will start losing again. Only lost 4lbs this month. :-(

Same for me.

Great job on your loss! Water upsets my pouch too unless I add lemon or lime juice. Then it goes fine.

That is amazing!! Sometimes I feel like I am so far behind cause I have only done 80lbs. But I only got 40lbs to go till my goal. Then maybe a little more.

Looks like your weight loss has been great! My surgery was 3/14 and starting weight was 229 current weight 153. I had lots of complications and ended up back in hospital for awhile, but everything's on track now. I think the stalls are normal but that's just my opinion. Good luck finding a new doctor. Congratulations on your loss so far!

Wow!! Congrats to all of you!! Looks like everyone is doing very well..

Sometimes I feel like I'm doing something wrong because I am loosing very slowly, or i think i am. i am at a little over 60lbs total loss from when I started this journey, I have lost about 40lbs since my surgery on 6/12/13.

Water, Vitamins and many other things make my tummy hurt on a daily basis. I just started adding lemon, hoping that will help. Still have only met my Fluid goal once since surgery, anyone else struggle with that problem?

Overall, I am trying to stay positive and keep in mind that all of these struggles will pay off huge in the long run.. I have my 3 month check up/class this coming Monday. Keep up the good work everyone!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
