Highest weight was 289 I'm currently 243.8.

My only problem is I feel okay times I eat too much and afraid I'll stretch out l. Has anyone felt like this and what did you do?

Yes I feel the same way, at times. What is your diet like? Some things make me throw up. Not sure if I eat to fast...

Nice work! I noticed your comment about fatty food. I've been doing low carb and low sugar. It seems to be working well. I actually needed to increase my calories and I started doing that with bacon or sausage for Breakfast and I'm losing at a steady rate. What I'm saying is that you may not have to fear Protein based fats.

I do sometimes worry that I am pushing the limits of my sleeve too. I'm just a wee bit over 3 months out and losing steadily though so I just try to take my time (I have always been a fast eater so that's an adjustment) and listen to what my body is telling me. I don't generally throw up though so I don't think I have really gone over my bodies limits when it comes to eating. Good luck to all!!

I myself was an fast eater and have to remind myself at times to slow it down. I noticed when I eat fast and get fool lots of saliva and mucous builds up in my throat to where I can't swallow it I have to constantly spit

I have the same issue at times. It's still a mental challenge but it does get better. I've learned to only place very small amounts on my plate now and stop as soon as I feel full. I would like to learn how to stop before the full feeling but I'm not there yet. I put my fork down between bites and look around, chew, think about my new body, then go back to it lol. I'm trying to make food less of a priority. It's hard girl but we will both get there.

I was sleeved 11/12/16.

I can definitely relate.

I am struggling with eating slowly... I have always been a fast eater and now I am trying not to be.

I am also struggling with making sure there is a full 30 minutes between eating and drinking... the struggle is real!!!

You look fantastic and I am super proud of how far we both have come!

Keep it up! you are doing great!

      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. 🤞
