I actually started weighing myself after my first post op appointment with my surgeon, which was 10 days after surgery. I knew I would have gained weight from all the Iv's and stuff that I just waited.

As soon as I got home and every morning after that. Some people weigh once a week or only when the see the doctor... I weigh everyday ... It just works best for me.

I started 2 weeks after surgery. At first I was weighing myself every day or every couple days, but I don't want to get used to that and become obsessed with the scale, so now I only weigh myself on the weekend.

I had my surgery on a Thursday and weighed myself 2 Monday's after that Thursday. Now I weigh myself every week and keep a little graph of my weight loss. I have split up my graphs by the mini goald I set for myself. Like from my surgery (2/28) I wanted to lose a total of 40lbs by the end of April. So I made a chart that only went 40lbs out from the weight I was from surgery. I set another goal of 40lbs to lose by August...So my second chart goes up until August. Its nice to see progress on charts and stuff.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
