Recommended Posts

HI there,

Congrats on your 80, I have lost almost 75 - I am around 170lbs now. I would like to get to155lbs. So I have a bit of work to do still. I have had a lot of stalls then I lose sometimes up to 5lbs in a week after a stall. I have lost really slowly the past 6 weeks.

I have had a consult for a corset Tummy Tuck and breast lift, which I hope to get done in January. I am working towards my goal weight to be ready for my next phase in life. Other than that I am super happy with my results and for making the decision to remove the band and go to the sleeve.

i was sleeved april 29, and have lost 84 pounds since surgery (276 starting to 192 today) - SO happy! several bad stalls though, and they get depressing, even though i'm awfully happy these days and proud of myself. I love having so much energy and that I finally really like exercsing...wow, did I say that?! :) Great to see how well everyone is doing. I'm really incredibly glad i did this, and VERY grateful for this terrific online community. You guys rock!

Hi. I was sleeved April first. I've had kind of a rough go of it, but I have lost 95 pounds. Size 22/24 to a 14 in pants. 27 more to go, but I'm not sure that goal is realistic because it is what I weighed in my 20s and I didn't have all the extra skin. So it might be a little too skinny for optimal health. Weight loss has definitely slowed down lately, but still coming off without me really trying. I NEVER feel hungry anymore. I eat because I know I need to and because I want to. Anyway, it's nice to finally be all the way healed and know what I can and can't eat. And I'm feeling better than I have in a long time. I had a closet full of smaller clothes that fit me, but are all out of style now - shoulder pads & pleated pants? no - time to donate. But it's hard for me to justify buying any new clothes right now because I don't know where I am going to end up. The thrift store is my friend right now! I still haven't wrapped my head around the new me and frequently do not recognize myself in the mirror and am ecstatic when I can tie my shoes without holding my breath.

April 1 was my day. I haven't had any real problems, just some "learning" experiences on what to avoid and learning when to stop eating. I have become a regular exerciser and feel great. Down 100 pounds. Not sure what my goal will be - maybe another 20 pounds. I too have become a big fan of thrift shops...buy cheap, wear a month or two and donate them back and buy a smaller size. Life is good!

      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. 🤞
