17 pounds down since surgery on 9/22



Recommended Posts

It has been almost a month and I see some others losing weight faster and even slower than me, but we are all different!

High Weight: 337

Pre-op diet start weight: 320

Surgery day: 312

Today: 295

To even lose this amount of weight is amazing to me! I hope everyone is experiencing amazing weight loss as well!

Auntiemel, you are doing well. I like the slow but steady method because we don't tend to stall like the fast and furious. I like to think our body adjusts as we go along and doesn't need a stall to catchup. Keep up the great work!

Sleeved 9/23 pre-op I was 300, surgery day I was 286, am at 274 today. We seem to be about the same pace, I'm happy with the progress knowing it won't ever be coming back!!

Thank goodness there are people out there in the boat with me! I am 3 weeks post op and am only down about 12 lbs so far. I thought for sure I would have been at least 20 lbs lighter by now, but unfortunately not. On the bright side I am down and not up :)

I'm 3 weeks post op and am down 13lbs. I was hoping to be down more but I am happy for the weight I have lost. I have been stalled for almost 2 weeks now. So discouraging. I hope I start losing again soon.

I guess losing slower is easier on our bodies. I know somedays, the easiest things for me to eat are things like Peanut Butter and crackers. I have a hard time eating eggs and Proteins...they seem to make my sleeve unhappy. I also like apple juice and it soothes my tummy. Even with minimal carbs and half water/half juice, I am still losing weight. I'm sure if I were cutting out all carbs, it would be showing a faster rate of weight loss.

My surgeon has me on regular foods after 4 weeks, slowly introducing them one by one. The sleeve really is a tool! I can eat one or two crackers and be satisfied, I no longer want the whole container.

        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
