That is the way to do it. Would love to become friends with you. Do you mind sending me an email and letting me know what your starting weight was as I do not see it on your profile.

Congratulations! I was sleeved two days ago and struggle to get 16 oz of Fluid in a day, but I hear it gets easier. I can't even imagine the soft foods yet, lol. Let us know how it goes!

My heaviest weight is 386.4, my starting weight when I began the VSG journey was 381.6. I had to do a 3 month supervised weight program bc of my insurance. The day of surgery 10/14/15 I weighed in at 348.1, this morning I weighed in at 332.5. :) I have a bad habit of weighing in daily. It is what it is. It keeps me on track. Im well aware of stalls but I like seeing the numbers go down!

Thanks for sharing the numbers with us all. I find is so encouraging to know what weight people started at and how much they have lost. I am so looking forward to my surgery but still have a few months to go before it happens. 33 pounds in 3 months supervised diet was great. I have my 5 visit on Monday. I lost 10 months for the 1st and 2nd visit and 7 last month. I am kind of nervous about what the weight loss will be this month. My Dr didn't give me a goal of how much to lose. He said whatever I can lose I am that much ahead of the game. I wanted to get down to about 307 before surgery but not sure that will happen.

      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. 🤞
