This is my first time commenting so glad I found this thread! I feel like my weight loss is going slow. ..I guess it's really not though Hw 349 Sw 327 surg.wt 290 current wt 253... that's 74lbs since starting this journey (including 6 month pre-op diet)and 37 lbs since surgery... being only 7 weeks out and putting it down like this makes me see the progress I have made. .. but why don't I see the weight loss? (Even though I am fitting into my previous "skinny" jeans) That's about the only thing driving me crazy right now!

Slow loser here... highest weight 295lbs, surgery date (Nov 4th) 272lbs, while in hospital gain water/I.v. weight 277 lbs. Today I way 248lbs. Total loss of 47 lbs, 29lbs from surgery. I'm okay with being a slow loser but I am a bit sad with my results so far, I feel as I'm doing something wrong. Regardless I'm shaking off the blues and so be it! God bless you all, continued good health and weight loss. Xoxoxo I love this tread and all you losers! Keep me informed. Keep up the hard work too. TAWANDA! (Fried Green Tomatoes, movie quote)

People say their a slow loser but to me I don't see it. If you had only lost 20 pounds in 6-7 weeks, Then yeah I would call that a slow loser! I have lost 35 pounds in 10 weeks and I still don't consider myself a "slow loser".

OMG! A stall for 3 weeks?! I'm so sorry, I have nothing to complain about. Weight loss does kick start eventually; this is just how my body works, right?

Thank you for understanding SoonerOrLater.

Hey guys

Sleeved Nov 26, and got stuck for 17 days at 48 pounds lost. So frustrating not to see the scale budge at all. However, I stuck with the plan, and didn't weigh at all after last Thursday, until Monday morning. Now I'm down 53. Wow. Feel on top of the world!

Quick Q: how do y'all get that Body Weight Ticker on the end of your posts?

      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
