My surgery was June 24th



Recommended Posts

I have cravings for foods. But I haven't been hungry yet... really disappointed in no weight loss yet :-(

How are you doing now? Was your BMI low sometimes that plays a part in the weight loss hope u r doing better.

Well 3 weeks post surgery I was down 20 pounds. My bmi was 44 to start with... which I don't think is all that low, but definitely lower then some. I can't wait to get cleared to go to the gym, hopefully the 23rd at my 1 month check up! Feeling really good though. Been adding more and more foods back into my diet. Sometimes the amount I can't eat leaves me short on Protein so still on shakes as well. Switched to regular adult Vitamins as well instead of kids chewables. I've been taking Centrum specialist energy... does wonders! Hope everyone else is doing good! Any complications for anyone yet?

Surgery was June 24th, did the liquid diet for week and then I left for long drive from southern Illinois to chicken, Ak. Found it hard to get Soup at cafés and then the pre made shakes are way to sweet. Now on puréed food and I have learned that to spicy foods really give me heart burn. Go in this Friday to see how I've done. No scales in sight. I do know I went to size 20w to 18w. Oh, and yes if u take those extra two bites u think u want. U will find urself puking. Well at least I did.

I had my surgery on the 25th of June and I am feeling great! I am starting to test out different foods and I have found spicy food is not my friend! I have been craving flavor after eating eggs for about a week straight. Haven't puked yet...thank goodness! Hopefully I can get rid of these next 2 pounds and begin to enjoy ONEderland! It has been so long since I have seen those numbers on a scale!

      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. 🤞
