Started at 271 down 126 to 145!

Thinking this may be goal for me at 5'7" so now all I have to do is stay here and get some things tucked up surgically!

I started at a high of 362 lbs. Surgery was on 12/23/13. My current weight is 218 lbs. My total weight loss has been 144 pounds!

Weight loss has slowed considerably but is still happening. Hit my goal of 230 in July but still moving slowly downward.

I started at 314 (although my pcp mentioned 324 as my highest weight) and had surgery on 12/10/2013.

I'm fluctuating between 167 and 169 as of late and seem to have leveled off. So down about 146 pounds and wearing size 34 pants.

I would like to lose another 5 pounds but grateful to be where I am.

Hello, guys!

I started at 238 lbs, was sleeved 11/17/13. Now I'm 151 lbs. I'm 5'5 and wearing size 6-8, depends on company. Yesterday, I bought few sweaters that x-small (!). Except of mod acid reflux, I don't have any complications. I feel very good and very happy with the results! I'm very nervous about food cravings coming back and gaining wt:((.

Before surgery my cravings were so strong that they were interfering with my daily life:((. I would spend most of my energy fighting it. After the surgery I didn't have cravings or touched simple carbs for ~ 6 months. I still don't eat simple carbs on regular basis but from time to time a have cravings, not as strong as in the past. My food choices are healthy 90-95% of the time but other 5%...:((. I'm working very hard to stay with plan to maintain my current weight and maybe loose another 5lbs.

Sleeved 12/31/21013, I've lost 78 lbs (232 to 154 lbs). I'm very happy with the results.

I'm finding myself more hungry some days and having cravings. I'm working out a lot, though, and generally eating healthier. I don't want any gains!

Ditto on the hunger and cravings. I jumped off the food logging wagon a month ago, and I have pretty much stalled and wildly fluctuated between 147 - 152 since. I really do want to get to 140, but don't quite have enough motivation to be as rigid as I was before..

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
