Recommended Posts

Trying to ensure that I'm on track. How much weight did you guys loss in a month? I had surgery on 7/25 and I'm down 23lbs but this week I have not lost any. Trying not to get down.

You're doing great! There's something called the "third week stall" that almost all of us go through- please don't let it get you down. Weight loss is not linear and this is the first of many stalls you will likely encounter.

Also, try not to compare yourself to others- everyone loses at their own pace, men lose faster than women, very obese people lose faster than lightweights, etc.

As someone else on here likes to continually point out- when is the last time you lost 23 pounds in a month? Never?

Congratulations on your success.

Sleever females lose about 15-20 lbs the first month. Bypass peeps usually lose a bit more.

The rule of thumb is we lose about a hundred or 120 pounds the first year, which averages out to 10 a month. The first few months are more, then it slows down.

There are always exceptions, but it gives you an idea.

I was sleeved 8/3. I am down 17 pounds from 275 to 258 (I'm
5'7", age 39). I have no idea how that is in comparison, but I imagine everyone is vastly different. All of the sudden today after picking blackberries with my family, I feel crazy weak and tired. Almost weepy--like I just feel like crying. Sorry, went off on unrelated info there, I'm thrilled about 17 pounds, but feel very off today.

10 days postop is still super early. You probably did a bit too much, and might have needed to "eat" or drink.

Yes. I think so--it was pretty hot outside and I think I let hydration get away from me!

I lost 15 pounds my first month. By the 3rd month and thereafter, my rate of loss slowed down to 3 to 7 pounds per month.

I was a slower loser who took 17+ months to lose 100 pounds.

I am one week post op and between the 2 week pre-op liquid diet and surgery, I have lost a total of 23 lbs.

10 were lost prior to surgery

2 lb gain after surgery, but lost that within 48 hours

Have lost a total of 15 since surgery (that includes the 2lbs gained from surgery fluids.)

Total loss in 3 weeks 23 lbs (not counting the 2lbs surgery gain)

      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. 🤞
