August 14 peeps



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, just curious on how everyone who had their surgery on the 14th of August (give or take a few days) are doing? I'm doing okay, I guess, but I could be doing better honestly. I'm not working out as I should, and also making poor choices with food. I lost 19 pounds first month, 8 the second, and 6 the third. Total 33 lbs. I want to lose at least 10 this November.

My stats:

Height: 5'4

Hw: 313

SW: 295 before preop...286.4 day of surg.

CW: 253

GW: 175

I'm down 36lbs since my August 8th surgery. I was stalled for a VERY long time. I started a very strict Bariatric Keto diet plan this past week and I've lost 5lbs in the last 4 days. No more than 20g of carb, moderate fat and Protein.

Hw: 315
SW: 248
CW: 212
GW: 150

I was August 16. I am losing very slowly, although the past couple of days have not been the best for me nutrition wise.

I was sleeved on 8/18. I've been walking 2-6 hours a week (depending on weather and what I have time for during my lunch breaks) and being fairly strict about staying within recommended limits on calories, carbs, and Protein. I've lost 50 since the surgery. I'm getting impatient though, because the weight is coming off in fits and spurts lately, rather than ticking down smoothly. I also wish I could go to the bathroom like a normal person, instead of getting so constipated it hurts or having to take a suppository or something.

I'm pretty frigging sick of tuna fish and Protein Shakes.

      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. 🤞
