I will be 6 weeks post op tomorrow. Per my doctors orders I am weighing myself every morning until my next check up on Dec 30.

Well today the scale said 274.7 and that is 40.1 lbs lost since 10/21 (surgery was 10/27 only did one week pre op diet)!!!

I am just so happy with my progress. My doc told me to be doing two shakes and one small meal a day with no snacking. This is what I have been doing and it has working so well. I have really had no problem doing this, and also getting in all my Water and exercise. My doc has a goal of 260 for me to hit for my Dec 30 appointment and I am so hoping I can make it.

I just had to share my excitement and a NSV I had last night, My 15yr old daughter and me were shopping and we went into a store I had never shopped in before.(Torrid) I had gone in and looked around but never found anything that would really fit, Well my daughter had me trying on jeans. YIKES, my least favorite thing to wear (next to a bathing suit LOL). I live in AZ so I am lucky weather wise that I could get away with wearing capris year round. But I did have to have a pair or two just in case the weather drops into the 50's. The pairs I had were 26W and super tight. Last night I walked out with a pair of jean jeggings and boot cut pair in size 22w!!

I am just going to keep on doing what I am doing and keep enjoying this journey!!!!

That is awesome to hear:) I am not scheduled for surgery until Jan 8th but it is success stories like yours that keep me positive and motivated. Best of luck with the rest of your journey.

Great Job! I have been doing the two shakes and 1 small meal a day everyday with no snacking. It produces good results and isn't very hard to maintain. I'll probably change it up once I get further out.

        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
