I'm down 65 pounds since surgery



Recommended Posts

Just had my second weigh-in since surgery on 4/12/17 and I'm at 304 and I was 369 on day of surgery! It's been a journey but I'm looking forward to being under 300 pounds again

Congratulations! Keep up the great work. I remember getting below 300 pounds right before my surgery. (I weighed 298 on surgery day, and I weighed 397 at the start of my six month pre-op diet program.) I was so excited about it. The only thing more awesome than that was when I got below 200 pounds a few weeks ago!

As much as I like my practice's NUT, I discounted her advice a long time ago. If I had followed their advice, I wouldn't have lost anything pre-op, and she would have had me hopped up on carbs during the food stages. They have never known what to do with me because I am such an outlier in their practice, so they mostly just leave me alone.

Anyhow, have a great day, and keep going!

      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.
