Recommended Posts

Lumpy. I feel ya. Even tho I am onlu a week out. I have no changes and still feel as though I have my full stomach still. I have not stepped on the scale for fear of a higher number. (2 day out I weighed 7 lbs more than surgery day) Water weight I know. O just can't do it yet. I have only been wearing sweats and yoga pants so cant tell a difference plus with no bra for a week (im still way sore) I cant tell if my too is smaller either. Prob to soon.

when did u guys start noticing a difference?

Congraysr on all the success! !

Just wanted to say congrats to you all... I am so excited/nervous about surgery ( 2/10/14). I am currently in 16W/18W and my tops are XL or XXL depending on the manufacturer. I am really hoping that once I reach goal I am down to about a 6-8 in pants and medium top. Haven't been that size since the 10th grade... :)

Before surgery I wore a size 18 tight and size 20 comfortably. I can fit in both a size 12 and 14 depending on the name brand. I've seen several comment regarding "the girls". Unfortunately, I have similar problems to some of the others. While my back size of my bras has decreased from 42 to 36, my cup size has stayed the same at a DD and I would love to be a C or B. I too find that I have to buy a larger top to accommodate the bust.

I was at my personal goal ten pounds higher lol. I am comfortable at where I am now, but with only being four months out I don't have much say.

      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
