Half way point. 151lbs down in 133 days.

My highest weight was 445 in January 2016, my surgery date was 09/20/16 and my weight was 407 day of surgery. As of today, 01/31/17, 133 days since surgery I have lost 151 lbs.

I never thought "what I had lost" would surpass "what I needed to loose" so quickly. Only 149 lbs to goal. It seems so much more possible now.

I take it one day at a time, one meal, one choice. I don't think about what I need to do tomorrow or that I need to loose "x" amount of weight by "y" date. I'm just thankful I'm alive and I'm moving forward.

I am 390 right now and getting sleeved March 7th. I'm scared that my expectations of losing a lot of weight in a short time frae is unrealistic. This gives me hope. I want to be off my insulin and oral meds ASAP. That's amazing. What have you done to lose that amount in 4 months? Any tips would be awesome

3 weeks after surgery and I'm doing ok

Lost 17kgs already and starting to feel like I've done the right thing. Day 1 was great and I was saying how good is this. Day 2 and was omg what have I done the pain and reflux was unbearable but soon Day 3 arrived and everything has settled. Going to see the dietician on Monday followed by the surgeon. I'm feeling a little week at times but no real discomfort in the stomach area. But I'm liking the ice and cool Water, some of those super doopers ice pop things (sorry for terrible discretion) I'm not hungry and my surgeon has told me not to worry if I'm not up to eating there will b plenty of time to catch up in eating. So for me it's all about being thirsty and dry, so I'm enjoying cold liquids with my Vitamin tablets and plenty of fluids - yes it's all about sip sip sip but a few times I've been so thirsty I have forgotten to sip and did get Done discomfort with that blockage feeling.

I'm stoked at the result so far. Am starting to make one or two meals from the book given to me after surgery and will try to fluidly start eating a little pured recipes.

Hope your all enjoying your new lives and soon the world will be your oyster.

Mind if I ask, what is that app you are using? Love the way all those stats show on one screen - that's also motivating.

      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. 🤞
