One month anniversary and I'm feeling great!!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

So excited for my weight loss journey and thought it'd share it here. I'm 22 years old and had gastric sleeve surgery on January 11 of this year. Today marks my one month since surgery and it excites because I've lost 28 pounds successfully. I'm up to date with my Water intake, exercising (weights included), and my Protein.

Also, would like to share that I ate sushi and everything went well! Since, I went to the gym this morning and did a high intense work out. I felt like I needed to be fueled an hour after drinking my 35g of protein. Sushi suited very well for me and was able to eat 4 rolls (I was very hungry). I did not eat them all at once. I ate two right away and ate another two 30 minutes later.

I'm very excited to continue this journey and will keep everyone updated!! Thanks for reading,

Theresa

Congrats! It sounds like you are doing great!

Being only a month out, I just want to caution that your stomach is still healing. Any food that isn't on your list should be approved. Same with your gym activities. (I'm mentioning this for you, but also for others that read this thread in the future).

So nice to hear when things go so splendidly!

Congrats! I was 1/10 and 2/10 was 29 lbs. Today 30 lbs since December 16 th. Weird you mentioned Sushi, I have been craving and afraid because I'm afraid of stomach upset. I struggled with dehydration and bad fevers, chills, and the D. Trying to eat only cooked foods for a while :( Please enjoy some for me. :)

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
