Updating my surgery stats so that my weight is lower gives me a special kind of joy. Sometimes I log in just to do that. LOL!

I confess to having logged in just to update my stats. I don't understand the people who don't record their successes that way. You only know how great they're doing from reading their posts. Maybe they just aren't prideful types.

I do! Haha, I lost a pound this morning and one of the first things I did was update my weight on MyFitnessPal and then update my ticker here. 4 pounds to go until goal!

I'm glad for those that do! Sometimes I see a post and they've been post op for months but their stats show no weight loss! C'mon people! Get with the program! lol

I am one of those who doesn't update a weight ticker. Because I don't have a thyroid, my weight can fluctuate +\- 3 pounds from day to day. So If I see the same weight 3 days in a row, I know for sure that it is my true weight. By then I've forgotten to update my fitness pal or my stats here :)

Well I know for me I can't do it from my cell phone at all....or else I would've been filled in my info. I'm 10 days post-op and people are already telling me I look like like I'm losing weight. I refuse to get on a scale right now tho. ????

@@happymama2014 It's not as intuitive as one would think. But from the main site (not the phone app), up in the top right hand corner by your name is a little gear. Click on the gear. Then click on my surgery. Scroll down to where it says your current weight and put it in and save it, and it will update your stats.

      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.
