I lost about 7 pounds total those first 2 weeks post-op, I'd lost 14 the 2 weeks pre-op....the lower loss was frustrating at first while people around me were losing 12 a week....but I've come to learn that's just how I work....3 a week is about my average, since its an easy 3 and I'm not starving, I'll take it and consider it a success :). I tried to a skip the scales and stick to once or twice a week weigh ins so I didn't go Insane with the readings!!!

Make yourself proud!!!

Oh I hear you...I only lost 10lbs during my pre op and I stuck to it. I just hope I lose at least 10-15lbs post Op, but I feel that is wishful thinking for two weeks post Op. Lol but we got this and I'm sure it will just start falling off :)

I lost 14 according to the doctors scale, wearing jeans, multiple layers & a jacket. Normally I weigh in only wearing shorts & a tshirt. I was probably down 18-20 if you account for all the layers.

I know...I wish they would let us take 2lbs-3lbs off cause the clothes or let us do it naked so its really calculating our weight and not our weight + clothes.

At two weeks I lost 14lbs and the had a one week stall for week three. I know it's common but ticked me off! LoL

Now I'm three weeks three days and have lost a total of 17lbs. 3lbs in three days.

I've been thinking about getting a scale but I don't want to become consumed and obsessed by numbers which will sabotage my success so I'm not going to buy one

      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.
