Recommended Posts

Mine and hubby's surgeries were on 8th and everything went smoothly. We are back home and doing quite well. One week follow up post op he was down 37 from one week pre op and I was down 27. Don't go back until end of August. So happy we made this change!

Hey all!

Had my surgery July 29th. Start weight was 267 and my goal weight is 160! Love the idea of getting to know others going through similar stages!

How did everyone else do with their surgeries?!

Thstcurvygirl...we are very similar. My surgery was 7-31. Starting weight 255 and goal for now is 180 because I'm 6 foot tall and then will reevaluate once I've reached that goal. Things are going good, just ready I chew on something besides Jello and Popsicles lol

I am really struggling lately. I am still losing weight and am down from 242 at start of surgery investigation, 232 before start of liquid diet, 217 at time of surgery to 174.4. The problem is I find myself hungry or thinking about food much more often than I was before. I find myself doing the non thinking just shoving of food/chocolate in my mouth. It makes me wish I had had gastric bypass so I had disgusting effects when I ate fats/sweets. As well, I am perpetually tired and irritated. I have a hard time staying awake during work, focusing, and yet when I lay down at night I have a hard time falling asleep. I want to ring my toddlers necks all the time and feel like I cannot stand them especially before that time of the month. I want to tell off random strangers for their stupidity or behavior. I live in a perpetual state of fear of turning back into my old self in regards to food addiction and regaining the weight as I have always done in the past. Has anyone else felt like this? Does anyone have any ideas?

      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. 🤞
