How long before the "honeymoon" is over?



Recommended Posts

Thanks HHFM. Still, I hope that the last bit will fall off one day. Many people in our March 2016 VSG have reported that they also slowed down weight loss wise. So, close to 9 months post op, it is a bit of a shock to encounter the first major and long stall.

However, I hear that weight loss still happens in dribs and drabs.

Being a guy, you lose more and quicker. And you look fantastic already! Well done! ????????????

From what I have read, the weight loss still continues till 2 years post op, or so, but at a slower pace.

I have increased my Proteins, Water and exercise.

This should help.

there are SO many factors that go into answering that question that it's almost impossible. :-) I stuck to the plan religiously and hit my goal weight by 10 months post op. At that point the weight loss definitely slowed down and I also came to the realization that I actually *could* eat the things I used to eat at that point without being sick. That scared the crap out of me and at that point I started going to therapy with an eating disorder therapist because I realized that I was still the same struggling person, just at a lower weight. Good luck to you!

The light bulb had finally gone off and I can't forget the sacrifice and hard work I put in 3 years ago...I am back on the wagon today with my detox and clean eating... and back on here for support... I will keep updating!

      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. 🤞
