Nine months post op...how's everyone?



Recommended Posts

Hello my fellow September 2014 WLS folks! Let's talk progress.....

HW - 323

SW - 297

CW - 207

Total lost - 116 lbs! I started at a size 26 and I'm currently a size 14 (in "regular non-plus size" stores).

I am totally happy with my weight loss, but I can't wait to hit ONEderland! I had set a goal of being under 200 by my 40th birthday and I am not sure I am going to make it (I only have 4 days to go)! UGH... I know that I will get the soon, I'm just a bit disappointed ???? I just need to kick up my cardio and strength training!

How's everyone else?

Hi there!

I had my bypass on Sept. 26,2014

HW - 315

SW - 310

CW - 199

I hit Onederland last Monday and have been bouncing back and forth between 199 and 200 all week. I am looking forward to getting another 5 lbs down so I never have to look at that 200 number again.

I am recuperating from a serious spine surgery so I am on restriction from anything but walking and am up to a little over a mile a day until I can't take it anymore. Hopefully I will be able to extend to more this week. It's kind of a bummer because I was doing an hour of cardio every day prior to this little set back. Makes me feel like I am back to 310lbs, I get so tired and sore. However, I will not let it get the best of me.

I have 34 lbs to go to get to goal and I can see that light coming closer all the time!

Having this bypass gave me my life back! And other than my spine I am the healthiest I have been since my mid 20's! No more comorbitities!

Woot, woot!

@@Djmohr - great job!! You and I have lost the same amount of weight! I totally agree with wanting to be as far away from 200 as possible! My ultimate goal is to be less than 160lbs. I think that for me height, I'm supposed to be 135lbs (ha ha)!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
