I had Gastric Loop Bypass 14th September 2016.

Highest weight: 315lbs

Pre op diet weight (2 week shake diet): 291lbs

Surgery weight: 276lbs

Current weight: 246lbs

I am so so pleased with myself I may not be losing weight quickly or slowly like others but as long as I stick to my dietary requirements I should be fine I'm going at my own pace.

While I am so happy for everyone, this is totally depressing for me. I had surgery on 8/23 at 311, almost 8 weeks out and am at 280 now, that's a total weight loss of only 31 pounds. What am I doing wrong!!!! Any advice?

You sound like me!! 5 months after surgery I was only down about 25 pounds but then it kind of just fell off of me. I am 2 and a half years out and have lost 120 pounds! Don't worry, it will come off unless your are sucking back calories in milkshakes, ice cream etc!

Feeling and seeing yourself smaller is a BIG one!! I still see my highest weight at times. It took me forever to stop going to the Plus Sized racks. It actually took my daughter telling me over and over that I didn't need those sizes anymore. I still have what I call my "FAT DAYS"!! It is very hard for our minds to catch up with our bodies. Our minds definitely did not have the WLS!!! I'm 3 years out and I have maintained my 124# loss for 2 and 1/2 years, I still haven't caught up yet.

We are having similar results! My highest weight was 297, My RNY was 9/28/16 and I weighed 279.9, and now I am 254.2. I stall for a day or two and then lose a couple of pounds. Looking forward to continuing to drop by just sticking with the program!

      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.
