Three days post-surgery, the journey so far



Recommended Posts

According to my entry in myfitnesspal, it's listed as "22 oz (56g), oven roasted turkey breast portion", and I added some low-fat mayo to it. It wasn't too bad actually.

Hey sorry I haven't posted in so long, didn't realize it's been over a month, a LOT has happened, I think I may have posted in another thread about it, but I should keep up with the updates here too!

First, I made it to ONEderland! That was amazing. I've been fluctuating slightly between the 1's and 2's but that's fine, a little plateau isn't going to hurt me, and the last few days it's started going down again which is awesome.

Had a non-weight related life changing experience in May, I unexpectedly lost my job which was rough, and I was worried it would affect my weight loss but didn't even slow it down! My wife went looking for a job and found a great one with health benefits which was the most important thing we wanted, and I started my own business which is actually doing quite well. At the pace I'm at I may earn more this year than I would have at my old job so maybe it was a blessing in disguise.

And a HUGE non-scale victory yesterday. I took my family to an amusement park for the first time since surgery, and I fit comfortably on every ride for the first time in a LONG time. That felt really great being able to ride with my kids and not worry about being embarrassed about squeezing in or needed some kind of extender or something.

I'm .6 (that's POINT 6) away from my initial arbitrary goal of 197, hopefully will hit it soon, and then on to my more extreme goal of 179, which is possible.

Hope everyone is doing well, I'll try not to stay away so long next time!!

Your doing outstanding. I'm literally .4 away from Onederland so I know the excitement you are feeling. I've been bouncing between 200.8 and 200.4 for 3 days.

Good luck! I bounced back up a few pounds today, not sure what happened, should even out tomorrow.

      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. 🤞
