Wow!! What a change... how do you deal with such dramatic change? I mean definitely something I look forward to but scary too on some level.

It took a while for my brain to catch up, actually its still happening, so the adjustment wasn't so hard. What was hard is that I still felt huge, even as I approached my goal weight and only now am I realizing that I'm a "normal" size. It's hard to explain. Now that I'm more comfortable in my skin I'm having a lot of fun trying on new clothes and playing around with styles that compliment my body type and make me feel confident.

Fyi...im 5'2, starting weight 261lbs. Current weight 134lbs.

I hit my goal 11 months after surgery, which was 136. I lost 2 more lbs the next month and I've been maintaining ever since. It's hard, I can eat a lot now so I have to watch myself!

I think the biggest piece of advice I could give for successful weight loss would be to stick to the plan your doctor or nutritionist prescribes you. It will work! Once you are on solid foods, try new things, expand your menu, don't get trapped in the grilled chicken/protein shake "is all I can have" mentality. It will make it feel like you are on an endless diet and it will be unbearable. Make learning healthy habits a priority, like measuring and weighing food, not drinking during or after eating, planning your meals in advance and stopping before you are uncomfortably full. These are the changes that will matter 1, 2, 10 years out when you can eat anything and are working to maintain.

Also, enjoy the process. I just wanted to be at my goal, I was never satisfied whether I lost 1lb or 5lbs in a week, I felt like success was at the end. Now that I'm here I realized I stressed too much about things like stalls or eating a chip and feeling like i blew it! Looking back there were so many milestones, achievements, and personal growth. I wish I could do it all over again. It was the most exciting year of my life with so many accomplishments and successes...so yeah, enjoy the process and Celebrate your success often. Take pride in the change you decided to make, its a big deal!

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

        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.

      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
