I'm 2 weeks out and sometimes you must encourage yourself. Reading other post help you get through it. I'm down 21st pounds but I believe that should have been down more but reading people post help and praying. Stay encourage

I went thru the stall but you would be surprised just beacuse you aren't losing weight on the scale you are losing inches all over. Don't just track your weight check your inches too. Goodluck

I'm 2 weeks post op and I keep rushing myself and have to remember that's it's only been 2 weeks. I'm supposed to be on a soft purée but so many things make me sick. Haven't yet got the hang of "eating". Plus the mental part I think is the hardest, I mean that's how I got so big to begin with- I LOVE FOOD! I think this forum is great because only we know what you're going through! Hang in there, remember you didn't put the weight on overnight and taking it off is going to take time. You can do it!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
