Thanks again for organizing this, Bea! I'm at 222.7 this morning, so down 2.8 pounds since Last Friday.

Reading through this list, I'm so envious of the 4-15 pound losses, but I'm only in week 5 and I haven't stalled yet. I'm losing a bit less each week, but so far, still losing! I still have so much to figure out, but the biggest struggle I'm having in this journey is the head game. This whole process is so mental!

I'm easily getting in all of my Water and averaging 80-85g Protein, but that seems to leave me at about 800-850 calories/day. Wondering if cutting those calories would cause me to lose more or to stall. Doc says just eat to a comfort level and strive for 2-3oz. protein and 1oz. veg per meal, otherwise no other restrictions. I've added the 1/2c. per meal limit based on what I've seen around here. Thoughts from other experienced people? Maybe I need to just chill out and enjoy the fact that I'm still losing and not stalling. :)

Didn't lose a drop. In fact, I gained a lb. + 1. Not happy, but I'll keep trying.

      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. 🤞
