Hi everyone, I thought I would share a funny conversation that went on in my living room last night.

I was sitting on the chaise, my husband was laying on the sofa and my 17 year old daughter was folding laundry standing at the end of the chaise.

My husband looks over at me and asked, "Have you been on the scale yet (surgery was 8/27/15)?"

I replied with, "No, I wanted to wait until I was sure all of the surgery swelling and Water retention were gone first. Why?"

He said, "Because it looks like you are starting to melt."

I looked at my daughter and she said "He is right Mom, you are melting."

I had to laugh. It was too cute. The scale still hadn't gone back to the weight I was at surgery and I do not think I look like I have lost that much weight but apparently I look like I am losing weight even to those who see me all the time.

It is definitely a moment I won't forget.

Hope you enjoy.

My fiance and I both has WLS back in February and we both experience melting. We've joked around about it since it started happening but as more weight melted off the more we melted when we sit or lie down. Our running joke is that we become a couple of pancakes when we lay down. Bittersweet feeling :) Congradulations!! <3

My experience was/is like that. I didn't lose any actual weight for 6 weeks but everything was rearranging. That's how my DH put it.

      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
