Would you be happy with 34 lbs lost in 3 months??



Recommended Posts

Because that is what I have lost since surgery (1/24/05) and I think I should have lost more. I had one fill 2 weeks ago and since then l lost about 4 lbs (in the first few days post fill) nothing lost since then.

Help

I had my surgery on 01/07/05 and I am down 23.5, you are doing really good!

At first I was kind of upset because I was expecting to lose faster but hey I am going down and not up. Also I see that inches go way faster than the pounds!!

I'd be happy with over 11 pounds a month... hell yeah!

Exactly what I would have said. There is no reason at all to be unhappy with that rate of loss!! Great job!!! :) :) :D

Average weight loss with the band is 1-3 lbs a week. Looks like you are above average. Great Job, do not be discouraged by this at all. Be Proud!! :)

Wow that is wonderful, I was banded on Nov. 4 and have lost about that amount, so you are doing just great, wish I could lose weight that fast. What do you eat on an average day? You know I think my problem is that I'm not eating enough, I'm starting to look sick to people. Four people asked me if I was feeling okay today, that for sure is a sign that I look like shit. In the last two days I have been able to eat a little bit more, hopefully I can start eating healthier and feeling better.

That is fantastic. Remember band people loose more slowly than gastric bypass people. This is actually a good thing. Your skin will retain it elasticity better. 34LBS WOOHOO! Way to go girl!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
