I had my surgery on February 14th 2017 and in six weeks I'm down 78 pounds. I too had a 10 day stall in weight loss but it has started back. I'm eating between 700-1000 calories a day. I'm walking 10000-15000 steps most days. I started last week going to the gym working with a trainer once a week to help with muscle toning and building plus trying to keep from having a huge skin removal surgery. I know I'm going to have to get some kind of skin removal surgery but I hope to reduce the amount of skin removed. If I can!

I was sleeved Feb. 6th. At my 2-month post-op appnt, my surgeon said no more Protein Shakes. Yay! No more drinking calories. I'm totally happy w/the sleeve. At 5'2" and 50 yrs, I am down about 35 lbs. Walking is tough with my knee problems, but I do what I can. Just bought a Simply Fit Board today, which is fun and easy on the joints. I love being able to eat some real foods (fish, veggies, salad, etc.). I am working on eating less Soups. I still need to focus on stopping when I am full. That takes awareness and staying in tune with the body. This is a process. The sleeve is a great tool. So far so good!

When I started the whole process of prepping for my weight loss surgery. I was at my heaviest. I had my 3-month post-op follow-up today and I am just really happy.

My heaviest weight from the start was 464 lbs.

My weight at surgery was 418 lbs.

my weight today was 378 lbs.

I don't try to hold on to a goal weight specific number. I would just like to get down as much as I can and have a more healthy and mobile life as a whole on a daily basis. I've had some great non-scale victories too, pants being too big, shirts beeing oversized, being able to drop a few band sizes in my bra. Already I can feel the difference in how I move, my energy, my confidence slowly rising. It's a great feeling and incredibly motivating.

My doctor said I am right on target and he's very happy with my progress.

      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
