Recommended Posts

First I am not bragging just want to give people some insperation. I had my surgery on dec 11th. everything went smooth. I was back to work in a couple of days and at the gym by day 6. I have been eating 800-1000 cal per day and working out 4-5 days a week. So now to the good stuff 6 weeks = 65lbs. I am so happy I hve not been down this low since I was in high school. The doctor told me i may not even need a fill. I have been able to met anything I want just in moderation. I think it is because i have been following my Vitamins, workout , and food. Anyway good luck to everyone else. I have 35 lbs to go to get to where the doc wants me to be an d 55 lbs to get to where I want to be.

jwiess, If you don't mind my asking...are you Male or female? It doesn't matter. Your accomplishments are incredible regardless and you should be very proud. I'm just curious because with my experience reading these boards the guys seem to loose so much faster than the women.

I am male and 27 wich could have to do it.

My day starts with yogurt and a Protein Shake, lunch usually small salad or Soup and then normal dinner That is it. I truely believe it is because of my dedication to all this. Follow what the doctors and nutritionist tell you. For most of us this is a life changing experience so embrace it. I personally go with the thought that it took 27 years to gain all this weight so 1 -2 years is no big deal to dedicate to this.

      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
