2 months post op! Pics

I am officially 8 weeks out! Though I'm losing weight slower than most I am still losing. I have hit a stall within the past two weeks.

To be honest I do look at fellow sleeved patients and there progress and I do get somewhat depressed because I am losing so slow. Still better regrets, I see my weight going down vs going up like usual which is a relief.

I plan on now starting a good workout regimen and hope that helps.

Here my stats with pictures:

HW:242

SW: 231 (day of surgery)

CW: 208

Congrats on your surgery! So happy that everything turned out well and you're on the losers bench! I was sleeved 10/5/16 and as far as i know have lost 38 lbs from day of surgery. I feel like I'm a slow loser too but keep telling myself so long as its trending down and i do what I'm supposed to it'll come off. Just stay positive, your doing great!????

Congratulations on your decision and your progress.

I was sleeved on10/10/16 and feel I am a really slow loser. And it is uncanny how closely we track.

HW - 242

SW - 233

CW - 206

So, I've been really disappointed at how slowly I'm losing. But as you said I am at leasts losing. I'm diabetic and my doctor said we lose slower and less that others.

I have had several stalls, once lasting 2-1/2 weeks right after surgery. For the last few weeks I have been losing and just had my biggest loss of 6 lbs, yeah!

I do stick to my plan faithfully, but still have trouble getting in the Water. I am doing better with it. And although I am suppossed to cut out the Protein shakes now, I still can't eat enough Protein to get in my 50 gms per day. So I supplement half of it.

Keep up the good work, we'll get ot our goal sooner than later

There are plenty of threads on stalling, it happens after the surgery. Please don't despair! Read through some of them, it's what helped me get through when I started feeling depressed and questioning if I made the right decision I am now seven months out and I know I made the right decision I've now lost a hundred and six pounds!

I was a VERY "slow" loser and you know what? It didn't matter at all! I still got to my goal and have been happily maintaining ever since. You will have the rest of your life to enjoy being at your goal weight. What does it matter if it takes you a couple months longer to get there than someone else? I promise you, at over two years out, I never ever look back and say to myself "if only I'd reached goal a month earlier."

@@_bribri1001 your doing amazing hun! I sure wish my butt was 206 as of right now & I haven't even had the surgery yet. Just imagine there is someone out there that's wanting to be exactly where you are. You have plenty of months to go for it to shed off. Always remember "weight loss is a sprint, not a marathon" it'll happen but not overnight!

I'm four almost five weeks post op and have been stalled for two weeks - it's depressing other people are loosing so fast --- but when you start not as big then you lose slower it's just hard to accept

      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.
