Hi all -

Had RNY on 2/23 and would love to check in with others at about the same stage. I am down a total of 66.8lbs and am feeling great! I am not exercising as much as I would like to because I still can't get more than 800-900 calories a day, and found myself stalling when I was exercising on top of chasing my two kids around. I figure my regular life is fairly active plus adding in gardening, intense house cleaning, etc., and walking the dog, I am covering my bases.

Would love to hear where others are with weight loss, calorie intake, carb intake especially, etc.

Hi feb 23 here. I'm down 50lbs. Almost off my insulin for diabetes and down 2 sizes in clothes.

The weight is not coming off as fast as I would like. I not in the gym like I should be but I am very strict with my diet and Water.

I don't know if it's good to lose slowly? Maybe I won't have as much sagging skin?

I get in about 750 calories, 70-90 grams of Protein, 60-75oz of Water. Prob around 20-25 grams of carbs, rarely any sugar.

      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. 🤞
