3 weeks post sleeve !



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am so excited! I had originally posted 2 weeks prior to being sleeved 1/30/17.

In August when I started this journey I weighed 233lbs and had a BMI of 41+ and had lost 30 lbs from 8/15/16 - 1/30/17.

Now 3 weeks post sleeve my BMI is 32 & have lost another 17lbs

Thankfully, I had no post op issues and I'm coming along very well. At 2 weeks post op my dr said I was losing 1 lb a day ! And I'm not hungry

At this point my scale puts me at 184 !

I couldn't be happier ! I just keep thinking that I must stay focused and it will keep me motivated!

Congratulations! I have very similar numbers, a bit higher at the start but about the same since surgery last week! This has given me even more inspiration to succeed! Thanks for sharing!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
