Congratulations! I'm 8 weeks post op and just hit 56 pounds lost! I'm so happy and feel so much better. I didn't notice a loss in my stomach right away but trust me it WILL come.

I had surgery on the 7/11 and was supposed to have my post op on 7/19 but didn't make it cuz I ended up back in hospital.. But long story short I had it today so a little over two weeks.. But I'm down 27lbs.. I notice it in my legs and arms and face but barely in my stomach area even tho I notice it in the way my clothes fit.. Regardless I'm so happy I made the right decision!! Thanks everyone on here for helping me with my journey along the way!!

❤️????

Wow, that's awesome, 27 pounds already? I can't wait to get my surgery ! I'm looking at probably September .

Hey guys, my surgery was April 12th and felt compelled to tell you all... it slowly gets better and stop obsessing over the scale. It WILL come off and when it does it happens FAST. Concentrate on getting in your nutrition so you feel human. Its tough and for the first month I almost regretted the decision to have surgery but now Im 65lbs lighter and am finally getting a bit of energy back. Good luck to you all!

I am 5 days post op gastric bypass. I am regretting having done this surgery. I feel horribly ill (lots of diarrhea) and the pain is still lingering. As soon as I sip a Protein shake it goes right through me. I am getting depressed as I can not leave the house in case of an accident. Has anyone else experienced this? Feeling defeated

@@inkdcosmoqueen, Congratulations! An awesome first weigh-in sure makes you feel good about your WLS, doesn’t it?? Even if you did have a rough time of it at the beginning, I am glad you are staying positive and seeing the results you are hoping for! I hope it is smoother for you and just as successful the rest of the way!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
