Hello and good morning everyone

I just need to vent a little !!! Today is three weeks since my VSG and boy do I feel great. I’m transitioning to my normal before surgery daily life. I’m so frustrated ! This weight isn’t budging as fast as I’d like it to omg! I know it’s not a sprint but a marathon but I’m just so frustrated. I see here many people were givin a set amount of calories/carbs to take in per date I wasn’t. After my one week follow up my doc said you look great see you in three months! I get my Protein in (about 40grams not quite the 60) and I intake at least 40oz . Of Water per day, add in the G2 and liquids to food maybe 50oz of liquid per day. I was wondering if anyone has PCOS and could this be the reason for my slow slow slow weight loss. It seems before surgery I was dropping the weight like nothing but after the surgery it’s really hard. I barley eat anything solid because I just throw it back up so I rely on my Protein Shakes which fill me up. I can stomach eggs so I’ve been having 1 boiled egg (just the whites I have never done the yellows) every other day I just don’t know and I’m so frustrated ☹️

Starting weight 260

surgery weight 228

current weight 217

goal. 150-160

Hey I too have pcos and it’s very tough to loose weight but you have done amazing to loose 11 lbs in 3 weeks! When I get down about my weight loss not being quick enough I just think to myself when have I ever lost near to the amount I’m loosing now. The answer is Iv never managed more than 2 lb a week on any previous diet so my 10 lbs 2 weeks post op is amazing in reality.

Bad news guys !!

I expressed my concern to my doctor and he wants me back on my all liquid diet. More stomach meds and more nausea medication for me yay 🙄

it sucks anything solid I eat I just bring right back up and then I’m nauseous and throwing up anything that goes in after that!

I spoke too soon ! I threw those sausages up as soon as I ate them! It looks/feels like I’ll never be able to eat again!

I completely agree with you; I think I just watched too much TLC and expected to loose like 50lbs in a month😂 but speaking to my dr and everyone here I know I’m doing just fine ! It sucks because I have to go back on to my full liquid diet so I feel like I’m going backwards instead of forwards

I had the same slow weight loss. I was told my body is going through shock at about 3-4 weeks and has to reset itself.

Don’t count out the sausages just yet. Sometimes you can retry things later down the line. It was that way with lettuce for me. You might just have to take baby steps from here on out.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
