i can't get over how much several of you have lost so soon after surgery. Was there a particular day where you suddenly started seeing the change? I'm on day 5 and still have a little gain from the surgery Fluid (started 10 up and lost most of it but I'm still above my starting weight.) When did you see the scale shift and these huge losses show up? 20 -- 23 lbs down in 9 days is mind boggling!

Would be a lot of fun to wake up 4 days from now and discover that I lost another size :D

I'm with healthyjudy, would you all mind telling us how much you weighed the day of surgery? I ask that because I would like to know if anyone started where I am at 235-ish.. 5 ft 6". I don't want to be super disappointed if my results aren't like this in 9 days. I get we all lose at different rates, but I would like to have something to compare to.

I haven't noticed the physical changes that he has...wish I did. However, I have a very accurate scale. Day of surgery, I weighed 288,(5'7) yesterday I was 268. I never gained Water weight. I typically lost a pound to 2/day. I am now up to 2 Protein Shakes a day(60g protein) 4 oz at a time...and flavored water, lemonade, diet juice or broth. Can't stomach straight water yet, but I wish I could...tired of sweet flavors.

I know what you mean, I've lost 25 in the 3 weeks since, and more than the visual even, I'm just excited about the way my body moves so much easier! Although I will admit, being able to put on jeans for the first time in years was super cool! (lol)

      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. 🤞
