I was 204 pre diet and after 3 day diet was 196. My highest weight was 210. I had surgery 8/26 and I weigh 174.6 now. I feel I've had a lot of weeks with 0 loss but as long as I am moving in the right direction, all is well. How are you doing?

Hi! I was 210 to start, 193 day of surgery (9/21) and 177 today. I've seen a lot of zero losses, too, but the general trend is a losing one, so I'm happy overall. I think weeks 2-4 I saw no changes, and even small gains. It's frustrating when you are in it.

I was 197 at pre op. Had my sleeve done on 10/20. As of my post op yesterday I am 180. I first started this journey in March when I weighed 207. I am now on puréed foods for 2 1/2 weeks.

My surgery was 9/13. I weighed 195 and on Saturday I weighed 172. I am losing slowly about 1-1.5 lbs per week but I have lost each week. I measure myself every 3 weeks on Monday nights and am losing inches. I am wearing much smaller clothes and even my abdominal apron is shrinking. I only weigh at WW meetings on Saturday mornings so as not to focus too much on the scales. I go to the gym at least once a week. My struggles are getting in enough Water and my hair falling out. I come up short every day on the Water but am trying to focus more. I just try to follow all the rules my surgeon set out. I wish you all luck and just keep your focus on the big picture of better fitting clothes and better health.

I'm three weeks post surgery and stuck at 188. I don't plan to go back to work until week six, so maybe I'm not losing like I thought I would because of not much activity. I get out for my daily walk, do the house chores, but that's about it. Because I'm off work (teacher), I am enjoying reading and Netflix. Even though I don't eat much, and just pureed food now, I feel that I need more of an active lifestyle. I am cherishing my disability time-off, but think that when I return to the hectic life of a high school teacher, I'll lose faster. I just hope I have the strength, because now I'm not ingesting much to give me stamina.

      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
