I know they say it slows down, I read it's usually the 3 week mark.

I see the Dr. On Monday I'm not sure what the rate of weight loss is that they expect, and ideas what's the norm?

Well I had RNY so mine is going to be different than yours. And age sex lifestyle diet stress all that good stuff and more can affect it. What your number sound pretty good. That's a lot of weight in a short amount of time. I know you're a woman but I don't really know the rest of the information. I can't imagine that you want to lose any faster than what you already are has that might be dangerous too.

Was your surgery recent?? If I can lose 10 a month I think that is average.

People lose like 50 the first 3 months it's crazy the stories I read on here

Starting weight: 291 lbs (June 2016)

Today: 234 lbs

My surgery is next Friday. Lost over 55 lbs without surgery, I sure hope the surgery can do better than that :)

I don't know what you're talking about but that's pretty awesome without surgery. You're going to do really good. Usually a good sign when your losing decent weight before surgery. Congratulations and good luck

Yeah it took me 5 months to lose 50 pounds. Then I really slowed down.

Especially when we are talking relative "lightweights" like the OP is (and I was), the weight loss isn't as dramatic as some that start out heavier.

      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.
