Congratulations on your surgery and weight loss thus far. I described my experience with gastric bypass surgery in the following article. Perhaps there is something in the article that may be of help.

Hey! We have almost identical stats! Same height and starting weight, but has bypass 4/11. Buddies?

The weight loss for me is 10lbs at a time, then stall for a week, then 10 pounds down again. It's freaked me out at the beginning, but now I'm getting used to it.

Good luck!

I'm also 5'10 and started at 306! I had my surgery May 8 and am down about 28 pounds (including 13 from pre-surgery liquids). I had to go back to the hospital May 23-26 as I had developed a big ulcer at the connection site so that threw me off for a week but getting better each day. I'm trying to walk more each day to help things along, but my red blood cells are rebuilding and I get winded/worm easily.

Awesome news! I am down the same amount since surgery on the 24th but the surgery IV and swelling and bloating put me up 18 pounds. So I still technically have 5 pounds left to go until I'm back to pre-surgery weight LOL

      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.
