Hi! I'm Kelsey and I'm 24 years old. I was sleeved June 2, 2014. So it's been 3 months and I've already lost 76 pounds as of this morning! I just have a lot going on in my life, so it would be great to have someone who is in a similar situation as me to talk to! Just let me know!!

Yay! And I'm so happy that you are so excited about it! I was pretty nervous beforehand, but I'm seriously so happy that I did it!

I've been feeling the same hunger feelings too, but when I go to eat, I take like 3 bites of something and I feel full! I think the amount of weight loss and the speed of weight loss depend on the starting weight. On my surgery day, I weighed 304 and have been losing about 3-4 pounds a week. But keep your head up! You made a great decision in getting the surgery for your health!! And 43 pounds is 43 pounds that are gone! Go for little milestones, that way you don't feel so stressed and upset when it takes so long to lose like 25 pounds! Keep it up!!

Yay! Buddy! That's so exciting about your weight loss! That's really fast too! I had absolutely no idea what to expect going in, so any progress was good progress! But I'm 3 months out and have just now started having hair issues where my hair is coming out faster than normal. I heard about it beforehand, but I thought that would happen almost right away, so when it didn't happen at first, I thought I was one of the lucky ones who it didn't happen to. Oh well! Me and my bottle of Biotin are going to become best friends!! Good luck with your continued weight loss!!!

It's going pretty well. I've just been working a lot so I'm pretty tired. But in exciting weight loss news, I just had to move my size 8 ring to my pointer finger to prevent it from sliding off my middle finger! Before my surgery, that ring would only fit on my ring finger! So my hands have shrunk quite a bit in 3 months!! I think my 100 pound treat to myself is going to be a replacement ring that fits on my ring finger again! Only 22 more pounds till then!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
