How long did it take you to lose 100 lbs?



Recommended Posts

I'm coming back to this to say that it's only been 2 months and I've already lost 40 pounds. Starting weight was 255. My doctor thinks I'll be 180 by the beginning of December. :)

I'll be happy to be around or under 200 by then. My goal is to be 120 by June. I'll just have to add more exercise to my routine.

It took me around six months! Starting weight was around 271lbs.

Less than one year. I think I was down at least 80 or 90 in the first six months! I started in the low 300s. But honestly, I encourage you not to worry about the speed at which the weight comes off, because this fantastic sleeve is a lifelong companion and those of us who have struggled with our relationship with food will always need to keep an eye on that. All that matters is that you get to a place we are comfortable in your own skin, healthy, and stay that way!

      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. 🤞
