I had my surgery on December 6th.

Almost 3 months ago.. I've lost 53 pounds already. I feel amazing! It is hands down the best thing I have ever done for myself!! I feel like a new person. Anyone having second thoughts and wants to ask me any questions please don't hesitate!

The hunger we feel during the pre-surgery diet, does it feel the same after surgery? Meaning is it a struggle when you smell foods and watch others eat. I am on day 11 of full liquids pre surgery. It's been tough the last two days not to take a bite out of everything I see.

My experience, no it's not the same... after surgery I wasn't hungry at all. A few teaspoons of Soup ( when I was allowed) filled me up... wasn't hard to lose the weight. Everyday my scale moved.. please stay strong. It's so worth it. Trust me you can do it. I didn't cheat once. I say that to give you strength. You will be so proud of yourself.

Thank you so much for sharing. I am definitely sticking it out! I am so excited.

So happy the weight has been steady dropping for you. I've read about so many stalls, I am ready for them, but secretly hoping that is not the case for me.

I had a stall. About a 2 weeks ago.. stayed the same for about 10 days.. that's ok.. I stepped up my exercise.. I have a Fitbit, that was a great investment:) keeps me moving. If you don't have one I would definitely suggest picking one up! Now my scale is on the move again. I hit my first goal.. u see 200 pounds;) first time in 7 years:)

That is my first goal as well! It's been over 15 years for me. I am so curious to see how my body will react to the surgery, as I know we are all different.

Again, thanks so much for all your insight.

I would say the hardest part of this experience is getting my mind and stomach on the same page.. you look at a plate of food and think you need to finish it all to be satisfied but your stomach says hell no!! It's a very strange feeling. Hard to explain unless you go through it. Even though you are full you mind thinks your not because you had two bites... it takes a little while to get used to that.

My dad and his wife came to visit me yesterday. I was sleeved Wednesday. They ate Panera bread sandwiches, Soups, and chips (former favorite) in front of me and I couldn't have wanted it less... I could only imagine how much it would hurt!

I can't imagine that feeling. I am desperate to get to the other end of this surgery to experience the feeling. That sounds so terrible, but after struggling with this weight for 33 years, I want and need this.

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.
