1 month post op and LOVING IT



Recommended Posts

Well, 1 month officially post surgery and I have lost 22 pounds... I am so happy. I haven't even gotten a fill yet so this is just amazing to me. I have never been "hungry" yet... Mental hunger yeah, but starving for lack of food? Nope. I still go out to all the places I used to go out to for dinner but I am eating about 1/2 of what I used to eat. After the fill I am sure it will be less than that... wow!!!!

I have so much energy... I play tennis 3 hours at a time 2-3 times a week, I walk every night, and I went rock climbing yesterday!! 5 hours of climbing... and I just feel great!!!!

I measured myself and wow since the week before surgery to now?

Date....Weight....Neck...Arm...Forearm...Thigh...Calf....Waist.....Stomach

9/8.......285.........16.....16.75....11.5......32.5...18.75...46.75.......57.5

10/14....263.........15.......15.......11........29.......17.5.....40...........53

good for you girl -

don't let the typical slow down discourage you - just remember the key element here is lifestyle change and exercise to keep the momentum going.

Isn't it great to have hope.

Congrats on the super weight loss. That's really great, but somehow I'm not surprised considering your activity level. Wow, I am really impressed and encouraged at how much you do. I think it's wonderful and believe me, it's one of the best things you can do for yourself. I also love that you obviously enjoy your activities, it's a good reminder to all of us, that exercise can be fun!!! Keep up the good work, you're of to a great start!!!!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
