I have a quick question for you and I hope it doesn't offend; how much weight have you lost since having surgery?

I've only been weighing myself once a week since my scale is broken and I go to my doctor's office to get weighed. So I don't know what I am at the momement but at exactly two weeks it was ten pounds. I'm sure it's more now, as it's been almost another whole week and all my undies are already starting to be too big. XD but yeah, ten pounds in 14 days, though it was probably more than that because you gain a few pounds in the hospital from the iv fluids.

I lost 20 pounds during my two week pre-op diet. I was shocked I lost that much because I did struggle a bit while I was on it. I had RNY on August 13th and since then have lost an additional 18lbs.. I have wondered how in the world I managed to lose 20 in two weeks before surgery then in the 3 weeks since not lose another 20 but then I realized I was needlessly focusing on numbers which I shouldn't be doing. I think I know why. Before the two week pre-op diet I didn't make any attempt to change my diet. I had food funerals and drank my beloved orange soda. The last thing I ate was a snickers bar and an orange crush... Since then I haven't had an ounce of soda no sweets or even a desire for a sweet. I have had savory cravings but I think I finally have convinces myself I can control it.. I am five weeks since my pre-op diet and have almost 40 pounds gone to show for it when I look at it that way I have to be satisfied. After all it took me years to get here its gonna take some work to get it off. Good luck and be patient and make the best choice for you.

      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.
