Surgery date 7/20.

HW 260

SW 221

Day of surgery 205. Today is 17 days post op. I weighed 198 this morning. To say I am a little disappointed would be an understatement. I have had no trouble getting in Protein and fluids since day 1 post op. I consume less than 600 calories daily and this is my first week walking 1.5 miles daily. The weight just isn't coming off.

I am hoping it is just part of the healing process and part of starting at a lower weight than some.

I am going through the same thing. I haven't gone over 600 calories since surgery on 7/16. Dropped 22 lbs and now I have been stalled for 1.5 weeks. I am baffled. Eating so little but I feel like there is no progress. I do need to be better about drinking water/fluids. But I struggle with nausea all day. It's like morning sickness all over again, but with no baby.

I got in 74oz of Water yesterday and I am on track to do it again. I drink 22 in the 33 minutes I am on the elliptical. And then I drink lemon water all day. It have 3 different containers I have to finish to do this and dividing them like that has made it much easier. Not weighing myself so I don't stress about. Hitting 90-100 Protein. Eating one meal a day rest shakes. Keeping carbs under 20

I have lost a little over 20 in three weeks. Is that slow? I only eat about 650 calories and workout.

I posted the reasoning to this a bit earlier in this post/group ????????????

I finally decided no more weighting myself for awhile. It was too frustrating. I am just concentrating on following my diet.

I'm 9 weeks out. Feel great. Can eat anything now--just ultra mini portions--but I try to stick with real food. I occasionally slime by eating too much, but I'm getting a lot better monitoring myself. Definitely have to eat slowly too. I started at 200 SW (33.3 BMI) and am now about 169. Love my sleeve!

WOW! you have lot a lot! Congrats! You are basically where I want to be, but I have a long way to get there.

I need to start being more adventurous in my eating. I really need to add salad in this week. I basically eat the same thing every day. Less options less chance of mistakes, but I need to branch out.

Almost 60 lbs down! I haven't done any kind of exercise yet though. I wish Florida weather wasn't so awful, because it's too hot and sticky to take walks.

You are down 60 lbs since surgery? Or does that include pre-op?

That includes 2 1/2 weeks of semi-serious pre-op dieting (I cheated a few times, to be honest).

      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. 🤞
