How much are you guys losing each month?? I am 5'11 and my starting weight was 344. The first month I lost 27lbs. The second month I lost 13lbs, and now I'm a little more than have way through this month with 14lbs lost. With a total of 54lbs! I would love to know your progress!! :)

I think the mistake a lot of WLS patients make is thinking about weight loss the same way they might if they were on a diet. When you are on a diet, you want to lose weight FAST and get to goal ASAP so the diet will be "over". With WLS, it's never "over". So whether it takes you 6 months or 16 months to get to goal, it doesn't matter. As long as you eventually get there and can MAINTAIN it once you are there. Ten years from now, no one's going to be looking back and saying to themselves "if only I could have gotten to goal one month sooner!".

@Seamster44 Your loss is incredible! You are doing fantastic. I wish I could lose at that rate, I don't let go of the weight fast, never have... but I tend to lose pretty steadily. I am grateful for every pound I lose, lol. I am Insulin resistant, PCOS, and now menopausal LOL. Yet I am 100% sure I will make it to goal, even if I turtle my way there. My 3 months of losses are -19, -6, and -7 I think... I am down 34 lbs now in just over 3 months.

@☁9⃣B I am losing at about the same rate as you! In fact our stats are almost identical... I started at 250, at 216 now... and am giving myself a year to lose 100 lbs.

I m with you on this sister... Weight loss is happening slow and steady.... Again no complains... Just making it a point to stay focused and positive...

At this point that's the only key ☺️

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
