6 month update, pic and question



Recommended Posts

Hi all!

A little before and after! Had my surgery June 16th and almost at my 6 month surgiversary. I have lost a total of 63 lbs (including weight lost during the two week liquid diet prior to surgery). Weight feels like it's coming off a lot slower now-which is to be expected. Curious...how many calories were you all eating at around 6 months?

At six months I was at about 1000 cals, give or take. I started to slow down too, but I was not exercise as much. Keep up the good work.

I’m happy to hear your weight loss of 60+ pounds in 6 mos. I was feeling like a failure as I’ve only lost almost 60 since August. Now I just had foot surgery and so I can’t exercise like I did before. Feeling defeated. You also look very toned and thin. I see others losing a lot more so I was getting discouraged. I have not been so good while bed ridden and having cabin fever so need to get on the horse again. Your pictures are an inspiration. Thank you!

1000 - 1200 calories.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
