I had my surgery 8/26 and I losr 1 more lb than you and I am super happy. I would never ever would lost this weight on my own( i mean on my own without the sleeve)

, plus we are smaller so 10% of weight loss is amazing...calculate % of weight loss, and not actually a number of lbs, someone that weighs 300lbs might lose 30Lbs this is 10% of their weight...You did great!!!

Can you imagine in 1 year? This is how I think!

Honestly, when I saw the subject line of "17lbs in a month", I thought this was going to be a happy post.

That's a great loss in just a month.....especially considering you have a fairly low starting weight. I'm not sure why you aren't happy about that loss.

Finding the bright side is going to be a helpful thing for you over the long haul of this journey.

I was totally excited when I read the title as well. I would be thrilled to lose almost 20 pounds in a month because like the previous woman said I would never have done that on my own in a month or even two months so congratulations keep your chin up and just keep plugging away

Sooo...17 pounds in one month. Sounds amazing to me. At 17 pounds a month you would lose to goal weight in less than a year. Why so sad?

I felt the same way too! My starting weight was 182 after pre surg diet (pre surg 188). Surgery was 9/2/15 and am at 169. I was feeling bummed that it wasn't coming off faster. But in reality we are doing fantastic!! The scale hasn't moved as fast but my scrub pants are fitting sooooo much better!!! I think you're doing fantastic! Great job!

      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.
