I am a few days late but my 1 month post op was on 12/3/16!!

I'm not going to say it went by quick because it didn't. I was one of the unlucky persons who was just going through it the first 2 weeks.

I have officially lost 15lbs which I am really excited about. My confidence is coming back. I still have one more week of soft food and I am still working on getting enough Protein and Water in a day.

I can't say how much I miss being able to gulp!

I work in the ER so my average steps in a day are around 16,000-18,000 ranging from 4-6 miles a day. And that's pretty much 4x a week. So no working out either. I do push ups from time to time though.

I do feel like I am going at a very slow process but I am happy to be at least 15lb down.

I wanted to put up a face to face to help motivate people especially the 1-2day post op sleevers. It gets better. I can't wait to see what I look like at my 2 month Post op! Top is surgery day and bottom is today! STATS:

HW: 246 SW:231

Damn, that is a beautiful smile!

16K steps a day?! Incredible! I was winded walking from my couch to the bathroom one month out from my surgery. You are going to be a superstar success of you follow the rules eating and keep walking like that.

I'll be watching you to see how brightly you shine.

Congrats! We are at the same stage and have the same stats (mostly). My 1 month was 12-2. I feel like I could've written the same post! (Minus the walking.) I've not been getting around much, feeling pretty tired a lot. HW 243; SW 231; CW 213; GW 165. Keep it up!

Thank you for sharing. It's amazing how much a difference 15 lbs can make! I haven't had my surgery yet. I am a nurse on a busy medsurge /tele unit. I've been looking for other medical workers on here and I'd love to have input on how quickly you were able to go back to work, what your experience was like, dos and donts, etc.

I was back at work after 4 weeks working 12 hr nights. Probably could have gone back sooner because I felt great but still had a lifting restriction. Best of luck to you!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
