What's your pre surgery weight?



Recommended Posts

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

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.

I've lost 55 pounds in 10 weeks - but a big caveat there is I'm 5'10. So my goal weight is 175. I'm sure it's about to slow down.

I'm 5'8 and 292lb. My surgery date is the 15th of December. I'm so excited and so nervous at the same time. I have a huge fever of failure. But that can be a big motivator.

I'm glad you recognized that because I think if you get discouraged you can affect your weight loss. Sounds like you're doing good keep at it.

Oh yeah they pump you full of fluids at the hospital. All the stuff they give you your retain a lot of Fluid. You'll be fine don't worry just follow the doctor's directions.

Hi I'm not sure which one of us you're talking to so I figured I would answer. I'm doing okay. I've lost 130.7lbs. Feel good. I walked 3.2 miles at 10 degrees incline Non-Stop. In June July I couldn't walk 300 yards Non-Stop. I look better I feel better best decision I ever made.

      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.
