I am 4 months post op. I am very happy with my weight loss, though it feels like it's going slow. I am down 53 lbs. I started back doing cardio after 6 weeks post op and I am addicted to exercise.

I just wonder if others are experiencing slow weight loss. My doctor said all that matters is how I feel. I have to admit that it is really exciting to fit in a size 16 again!

Congratulations. You look great!

By the way, you're not losing slowly. At 6 months out I'd lost 53 pounds, so you're losing more rapidly than me if you lost this amount in 4 months.

53 pounds in 4 months is 159 pounds in 1 year if you look at the long term.

Anyhow, keep up the wondrous work. :)

This is a an update. I am now down 59 lbs and I've started adding weights back into my workout routine to combat the sagging skin on my arms and stomach. I feel great!

I agree. With what every one is saying. That is great progress. Just think most diet programs say you can expect to lose 1-2 pounds per week.

I finally hit 60 lbs down, but it just keeps getting harder. I have to keep increasing the intensity of my workouts and record my food.< br>

You can do it. Stick to your diet and exercise regularly. I am now down 65 lbs. It's going slow, but the scale is moving.

      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. 🤞
