So between pre op diet / surgery / post op diet I've lost about 32lbs& I can't tell.. not even in my face. I can still wear the same pants.. Same shirts. Anybody else? I started out 270& now I'm 238..

Is me not drinking enough Water gonna make a difference in this? I'm trying to force myself to reach my Water goals; Very hard since I was never much of a drinker anyways.. of anything.

The larger your starting size, the longer it takes to see a difference and to drop clothing sizes.

You need to lose 40-50 pounds to go from a size 3x to a 2x. You need to lose 10-15 pounds to go from a size 8 to a 6.

Believe me, once you hit Onderland, it'll become quite noticeable and the sizes will fly by.

Just keep doing what you are supposed to be doing. One day you will look at yourself and say, "Wow, when did that happen!?!"

I am the same way. Even with the Water. But other people are noticing. What you could do, I am not sure if you did this before your surgery is take your measurements. I took mine right around my surgery and then again around my 6 week mark and it showed me I had actually lost a total of 33/34 inches total! It really helps you stay on track and shows you that you really are losing and not just weight

When I retired July 2014 I weighed 360. Tried to loose on my own and was 325 when I started process June 2016. B4 surgery I was 279. Went to get pants taken in and was told they could not reduce them by 9 inches. Bought new jeans and went from size 56 to 48.

I was at 221 today I weigh 199, I was sleeved on 12/8, and I don't see a difference when I look in the mirror, but my clothes say otherwise, I've cleaned out my closet once already, I still wear some clothes I wore before my sleeve, and I feel they fit the same, but my family says otherwise.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
