You look absolutely stunning!

Will be 4 months on the 29th. So far, I'm down 80 from my high weight, 73 since I started the pre-op diet, and 59 from surgery. But I started a LOT higher than you (and am still higher than you). And it "helps" that I'm nauseated every day so am actually eating less than I was even 2 months ago. Since my surgery date, I've lost about 47% EWL and 8.5+ BMI points.

That's awesome! I lost nothing on my 2 week liquid pre op. I have no thyroid either. The struggle has been real. I feel very good. THANK GOD because my job is hard and I have to make money. I'm 5'3 super short haha so I'm just a short chunk. My face has thinned out the most. I'm so happy for your loss!!! Are you feeling proud and good? So the first 3 months I sucked at eating real foods. I was content with shakes. Now I'm feeling like i have hunger and I crave more foods. I was hoping that was gone. Lol nope it's back. I have been following basically Keto with 2 shakes a day. I find myself eating alot nuts and soft meats. Plus 2 premier shakes. When I crave sweets I blend Peanut Butter, ice and Protein Shake together. Holy **** its delicious![emoji23] Screenshot_20190218-195553_Snapchat.jpeg

Not really feeling proud or good. Frankly, I feel like warmed over **** most days. The reflux, nausea, and Constipation are killing me. And all get worse by the day. The doc has ordered some tests to see if he can find the source. Nurse assures me that "This is not my life, this will pass." - God, I hope so, Because if it doesn't, this has NOT been worth it.

I guess I'm proud that even though I feel bad all the time, I'm still getting my liquids/protein/vitamins in. So, there's that. I really am hoping that this is just a crappy phase and I'll come through it. :)

And I will say at least I'm starting to see my sizes go down. It took freakishly long to drop a size. I'm still only 2 sizes down - and it took 80#. But I think its starting to move. Measurements show that my stomach has been losing slower than everything else, but is catching up.

That genuinely sounds terrible! I feared that for myself. I rely on my income. So I was giving myself mini panic attacks before surgery. What if I'm sick all the time etc. Is this worth it. If I sat at a desk I'd feel a tad better about it. But I'm always moving. I'm so sorry for you. I spent 3 months on YouTube pre op. Watching people like you come out of not so pleasant beginnings. So I assure you'll feel better soon. I just hope sooner than later :(

Me, I'm a few days over four months (Oct 16). I speak in kilos so I'll try and translate:
Before pre-op diet I was 134 kg / 295 lbs
Surgery date: 127.5 / 281 lbs
Today: 105.1 / 231 lbs
That's just shy of 30 kilos or 64 lbs which I'm thrilled with, especially coz mine was revision surgery. (My pre-lapband highest weight was 153.5 kgs / 338 lbs).

Boy do I feel different these days!

Hi there. I had my surgery October 16 so just past the 4 month mark. I was 285 when I started my pre op diet, 272 the day of surgery and today I weigh 224 pounds! 61 pounds gone forever! I love getting rid of all my big clothes. I was in a size 20 jeans prior to surgery and now I fit into size 16 and can fit in size xl tops! I’ve also lost 26 inches! To say I feel amazing is an understatement! I’m so happy I decided to have this surgery!

Me me me! Just passed the 4 month mark (sleeved 10/17). Started pre-op diet at 275. Was 265 on day of surgery. This morning I'm 208. I think I'm in a stall... the loss has slowed to about 1 to 1.5 pounds per week the last few weeks. Really hoping it picks back up again because I still have 60 pounds to lose to be at a healthy BMI. (I'm 5'5").

Feeling pretty good! I've suddenly started struggling with head hunger again, though. The last couple months have been pretty great in not noticing/dealing with it, but it's suddenly back with a vengeance. Ugh. :(

My only regret was not doing it sooner! I'm 35 years old

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
