Recommended Posts

I am 3.5 months post op and -60 pounds off my pre-surgery weight. I still have a long way to go and don't really notice the difference that much. But this is where I am at progress wise....

Time for a before and "so far" picture

The first is me at my heaviest of 277. The second is me right now at 215.5. I am 5'8. Had my surgery Feb 7th, 2008. I had lost 7 lbs before my first pre-op appt but this is the result of my cumulative pre and post op weight loss. Still have about 45 lbs to go.

I've lost 15 lbs this past month due to awesome restriction...It's been a rather frustrating month as I try to figure out what to eat...but the result has been very fun!!!

There was a HUGE shadow...so we had to do a little photoshop work...and I'm tired and didn't want to bother to take out my VERY red face...that's not my normal face color...although my rosascea is rather enflamed right now...uggh!

I love my band!

P.S. HELP - if you cant see the attached picture, can someone post it for me?

P.S.S. Rain - you look amazing - you have been an inspiration for me since I started this journey

      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
