Awesome will be thinking about u, I am going into My 6th week, down 31lbs, down from size 20 to a14 already, love my sleeve, it is so strange to only eat a small amount and be so full. I eat all my meals off a sandwich plate, that way it looks like I have lots of food on it but weird that I only eat half of it,lol. My hubby says that is all u r eating,lol, As he goes for seconds,

Thank you for the encouraging words. So what kind of things are you eating? Have you over eatin at all? Have you cheated? I am asking cause I have. I struggle with food soooooooo much that sometimes I think I will always be fat and this will not work for me.

This is a long time out.. since April...I am now down 53 pounds...went from size 18 to a size 12...and very happy. Need to lose another 25 ish....It has really slowed down now..lost only 8 pounds for the month of July. but I have already lost 2 pounds for April..so it is still coming off! I know I can eat a little more....obviously..and I have cheated many times..The difference now is that my cheating amount is soooo much less. (example.. instead of eating 15 cookies..I only eat one or two. But I hope everyone of us keeps our faith....take our time..be patient! Life is so much better with this weight off. I can't wait to get my next physical and see the new stats on my blood tests. We will all be so much better off!

I have lap band. It slipped and we are removing it and going with the sleeve. My surgery got moved from March to July. Need someone who can give me support on the pre- diet until my surgery so I don't regain weight. I am working out a food plan. Hope I can stick to it and not graze. I currently have no restriction from the band due to how it angled when it slipped.

      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. 🤞
