.... At 3 months post op? 6 months? 1 year?

I'm getting close to surgery (Feb/March) and am getting excited! Just thought I'd see what people experienced for the first year! ????

At 4 months, I was down 50. Here I am, 8 months out, and I haven't lost anymore. No one understands why... but 50 pounds is 50 pounds. Hopefully I'll start losing again soon.

4 weeks post op and I've lost 27. I stalled for almost 3 weeks after surgery and literally had to quit weighing or else I would've gone crazy. then it suddenly started coming off. I am light weight, having around 50 total to lose so I don't expect it to go quickly. I just keep following the nutrition guide and walking. Next week I start cross fit back and hope it really starts melting then.

Good luck. Don't get discouraged.

I've averaged 5lb a week since the sleeve 12 weeks ago. Its falling off at the moment but there are many different factors for all of us. I feel very lucky for it to be this way for me. I also know it will stall sometime and although the brain will know this but I'm sure the emotional bit will be a bit upset.

Have patience, it will work!

Yes. Don't worry. Your body is still recuperating. Follow your post Op diet and walk as much as possible. It will start dropping off.

Yes, everyone is different, of course, but I trolled these posts pre-op to see what to expect. I also focused on women with similar height/weight stats to mine, and that was helpful for me.

My stats are in the ticker, but I'm closing in on 4 months this coming Monday and hope to be close to -55 lbs lost. I did get a little discouraged when I saw people sleeved after me losing more, but I used that as the kick in the a** I needed to join a gym and clean up sloppy habits creeping in over the holidays.

I respond to negative reinforcement I guess? LOL.

Anyway, went from a 22 to a 16, complexion is flawless with no carbs/crap in diet, and have a lovely, consistent energy level throughout the day. I totally appreciate the lifestyle for many reasons, but the most important one (for me) is no longer going into a carb coma and needing so much caffeine to get through the day. I hum along on one cup of coffee in the morning and rarely a cup of tea in the late afternoon.

One thing I wish people WOULD mention is their restrictions and if they are meeting Protein and Water goals. I healed lovely and, yes, have restriction, but some people are gagging on 2 ounces of food, and I can get in 4-6 ounces no problem. I have always hit my Protein goals (100 grams) and Water goals (80 ounces.)

Best of luck, and get excited! Even slow/low loss is a loss we probably would be THRILLED with if we did it without surgery. It works!

I am meeting protein and water goals. I am able to eat 2-3 oz of meat at a meal and usually do 1/4 cup of vegetables with it. if I do something like chili it is 3/4 cup.

      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.
