Hear me out though. I've been obese my whole life and when I finally started the VSG journey it opened my eyes to how unhealthy my lifestyle was and how overweight I was so decided to do something about it. Now that I've had the surgery, I cannot stop weighing myself and obsessing about my appearance. I'm so excited at the prospect of being thin that I cannot wait anymore. I feel embarrassed walking around at this weight. Also feel impatient and want to hide away until I lose a considerable amount of weight. Of course I've been telling myself I'd be a sack of skin if this happened so be patient but it's so hard. I'm so ready to see what the new me is going to look like.

you are not alone! i'm four months post-op and find myself on the scale multiple times a day.... always looking for that loss and bumming out when there seems to be a gain! I honestly don't know if it's "good" or "bad" to do it - but, I know I want it off now, too. can't believe I let myself get to where I was - and can't wait to get to where I need to be. personally, if the scale is helping you stay in check I don't see too much wrong with it. now, if you start carrying one around with you - then you may have a problem :) this is a LONG journey that will never end if we want to keep this weight off. hang in there!

Sorry...........You will lose it when you lose it..You cannot speed it up! Be patient and enjoy the ride and take the time to learn new habits and help them become part of your life...work on your brain.. Spend time thinking and fixing why you got here in the first place...Trust me it will all happen but when your body is ready...Enjoy the little changes as they come because one day there will be a new you standing there and you really need to know who this new person is and how to keep her forever...

i felt like you and now over a year later...no one knows who I am I have changed so much....I was not prepared for the changes I see even though I was like you in a hurry.......

I am a learning process and a changing picture all the time..It is hard to keep up.....Enjoy each size down and each NSV....You need them to get you there and stay there....K

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
