I'm at 8 weeks and down to 212.6 as of this morning putting me at 40 lbs lost since surgery

OMG really??! We I'm about 250 now... Hoping to get down to 245 before my surgery in October!

Good Luck to you! Most people lose weight during the pre op diet. And correction I am now 9 weeks. In the last 2 weeks I kicked up my workout to 4 days a week but I've been doing more like 5-6. That has certainly accelerated my loss.

I did not really start working out until 6 weeks post op due to the fatigue.

Everyone loses differently so try not to get caught up in the numbers. I did not really lose weight pre op so My highest weight is pretty close to my surgery weight. I wish I'd lost more pre op. I but I'm pleased with my progress so far and I feel my weight loss has been pretty steady.

Best wishes to you!

I was sleeved on Jan 26, 2016 and also had my gallbladder removed and hernia repaired. In 8 weeks I had lost 28 pounds. I am now 7 month post op and I have lost 77 pounds. Since my highest weight I have lost 259 pounds. It is hard to believe I have lost that much weight, over 182 on my own before the surgery.

My weight loss has slowed down and I still have to still lose 58 to 83 pounds. My surgeon thinks at 180 pounds the remaining 25 pounds would be excess skin that would be removed bringing me to 155. I am working hard to get to the 180 mark but have had at least 4 stalls in these 7 months and fear I am in another one. Haven't lost any weight in over 2 weeks. However I will pull through this one too and continue on.

Hearing the weight loss from everyone makes me feel better. I thought I was loosing to slowly. I'm 5 weeks out from surgery and 16 pounds down. 26 if I count the 1 week pre-op diet. I just started to work out so hopefully more weight will start to come off. I lost 3 lbs last week and nothing this week. Does everyone agree working out makes weight drop faster? Should I wait to do weights until I loose more?

        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
