We are on the same path:
SW:267
VSG date:7/10/17
Surgery weight: 252
Now:209
After losing so rapidly in months one and two it's hard to accept the slow, but consistent loss on month three. Still following my plan to a "T". Most days my Breakfast consists of a Premier Protein shake mixed with Decaf coffee. I actually love it. It satisfies my sweet tooth. Congrats on your weight loss! You are doing great! Don't let the stalls get you down.

Thanks for sharing! Love that we’re so similar in our paths. As far as the stall, I refuse to beat myself up over weight any longer. I look at it as my body’s break before another losing run. I have embraced that this a marathon, not a sprint.
I look for to hearing from you again!

Your mental approach to stalls is spot on. As far as the "body's break before another losing run", my weight loss pattern is a prime example of this. For the last month or so my weight stays consistent or fluctuates by a few ounces Tuesday through Friday of every week. The scale only goes down on Saturday, Sunday, and sometimes Monday. It's crazy how that pattern has been so consistent. I can only speculate, but I think it may have something to do with the fact that I get more sleep on the weekends. Who knows!

Hi guys, I had surgery on 7/14. My highest weight was 228 and I am now 193. In total I've lost 35 lbs.

I need to be better about what I am putting in my body. I need to eat better even though I can't eat much.

Looks like you are all doing amazingly. Here's my progress pic so far. I wish I took more before photos...I didn't take any, this is just one I have that someone took.

Almost 9 months post op for us July 2017 sleevers! Anyone still checking in here? I’m down 109 pounds and feeling spectacular. I’ve surpassed my goal of 160 pounds. Think I’m going to aim for 150 and strive to keep my weight between 150 and 160 for the long term. It feels very strange to be at a point where I really don’t need to lose any more weight. I haven’t been at that point for years. If I’m not obsessed with losing weight, what will I be obsessed with?!

Nice to see you, I was wondering how you were doing. You haven’t posted in a while. Glad you are well.

      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. 🤞
