I had surgery on 01-21-2013 I had lost 100lbs. But have gained back 15lbs. since I began weight training, I work out 4 days a week and I'm pretty darn good at it. Took recent pics and I was pretty proud thought I would share. Yay me!

K8tee isn't it scaring because you do have the sleeve and there is not way to tighten it back up?

Everyone else thank you so much. I have a smile from ear to ear.

I've had a band that didn't work and then the sleeve. It's like my body loves the weight. Me, in the other hand hates it. Is there any advice guys? The number is important from a diabetes perspective so I need to keep trying. ????

Is there any way to shrink it? Only eat and drink liquids for a week and see what happens.

There is a Protein diet which supposedly shrinks it which ideally isn't what I want to do as idiot think it's sustainable. I'm on 1200 calories a day having 3 Protein Shake plus 100g of meat and a cup of fresh veg every night. It stabilizes me but doesn't reduce the weight.

      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.
