Hi

Today marks 1 month since I done the operation and have only lost 7 kilograms (15pounds)

I kind of feel upset that i haven't lost more considering I have also been training (1 hour cardio session everyday)

What did everyone else loose 1 month post op?

Thanks!

I'm one month out and also down just 15 lbs although my doctor said that is good as many patients retain fluids after however I read all the posts of people losing like 30+ lbs in first month. Also of course the heavier individuals are the more they'll likely lose in beginning. Perhaps 15 lbs is good for our starting weight?

Sleeved 12/19/16

Start weight 208

Current 190

I feel the same. I thought I would lose more and I barely lost 18lbs I'm not happy at all. But I do agree that if the starting weight was on the smaller side then it will take longer but it's frustrating when you have gone through so much.

Yes I agree! We are very similar in weight.

I saw my dietitian today and she said I was doing fine and that is the normal weight lost.

It's not going to happen overnight but was hoping to see more off the scale.

Next follow up is in 4 weeks so not going to look at the scales until then. :)

Yes!! That's why I was stressed because I saw so many people post that they lost 30+

Saw my dietitian today and she said I was doing great for my weight and too not stress about the number on the scale so I'm just going to avoid looking at it

I think definitely the bigger you are the more you will loose first and each body is different I guess.

I am 5 weeks post op. 209 day of operation and now 181. First 2 weeks had a good weight loss then week 3 and 4 I lost very little. Going into week 5 there was quite a good bump and big weight loss. I had post op complications too (ruptured spleen) so no exercise either. It will come don't worry :)

I'm 4 1/2 weeks out and down 18 pounds from surgery. I had a stall for a week, lost 2 pounds in 1 day and have been stalled again.

      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. 🤞
