When did you guys start to see the number on the scale go down? During the liquid diet (post), After starting puréed, or after you were back to eating normal foods, just less????

@@Seagull - Yes. Lost a bunch pre-op (you quit drinking alcohol and work to shrink your liver, good things will happen). I actually gained 10 at the hospital thanks to all the IV Fluid they pumped in me. But after 10 days of healing, everything started "moving" inside again, the weight really came off fast.

I weighed the same on day 11 as surgery day. Didn't weigh again until 6 weeks out, just starting soft foods and I was down 17 pounds. Your journey will be a lot less stressful if you don't worry about the scale for the first couple months.

I lost about 15 preop diet (and I cheated 3x cause I have no self control) and then between 10 and 14 since this last Monday. I'm now 6 days out, starving, I think and all I have is this incision pain right now. Hopefully all the walking I'm doing get things movin soon!

I lost 14lbs on the 2 week pre-op.

That's when my losing really started. I only lost 5 lbs in the 6 months prior.

Then in the almost 6 months since I've lost at a steady pace with some stalls.

I lost about 7 pounds preop and had the surgery this past Tuesday. I am trying not to get on the scale because it changes a lot throughout the day. I haven't had too many calories so I know the pounds will drop eventually.

I lost 16 lbs. In the preop diet. Came home and weighed on day 3 and was up .8 lbs. Day 4 was down 2.2 lbs. from surgery day. Buuuuuut, I have had liquid bowel movements (I know, gross) since day 2, several times a day, as I did through the preop diet. So the Fluid from surgery is moving out quickly, so I'm lucky???

I'm not saying I'm trying to rush anything, i was curious if the body switches to fat burning mode at a specific point, that's all

We're all impatient. We've had to jump through all sorts of hoops to get this done. But it only cost me co-pays and my time, but in the end it will all be worth it.

Today, 8 days after, I am starting to want some real food, but I got 3 weeks to go :(

      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
