Well it is 6 months since I had the op done and I am down just over 30kg almost 1/2 way to where I want to be. For all of you just starting out, you will not regret it one bit this is the best thing that I have ever done. I feel like I am now starting my life.

Good luck to all !!!!:blink::thumbup:

You have done so, so well! Congrats :thumbup:

I am just over 6 months out too and have lost just over 26kgs now, countless inches (at least 10 off both my waist and hips) and have gone from a size 24 to a size 18 (but even bought some size 16 clothes this weekend!).

Yay for us!

Hey Linny

Yes I feel fantastic. I went to Thialand a month ago and did not need the seat belt extention on the plane and that was a fantastic feeling. Also my hubby says he cannot believe the difference in me. I was climbing up and down stairs and getting into junkets in the middle of bangkok of which I would never have done in the past I feel fantastic and cannot wait to get another 30kg off.

Leah I agree Yay us I was a size 26 and struggling and am getting into a 20 or 18 now The difference if unbeleivble and this is the best thing I have ever done. My goal was to get into a size 18 that has now been revised to a 14 for now....

Yes, I'm 6months down the track now also and feel just wonderful. It was the best decision. Getting used to eating smaller amounts took a little while. I've lost 18kg and have gone from a 24 to an 18. I lose a little bit every week, even weeks when I have had too much ice cream.

Well.... I think you're all incredible and though, my mind hasn't caught up with my body and I still see me for how I was not what I am now... Hearing it from others is still and always will be inspirational.

Hi all out there, Does anyone else burp a lot in the night? I think I may be eating dinner too close to bedtime. Does anyone else get hungry at night and make the wrong choices? I'm terrible at night. I get into biscuits and ice cream. My husband keeps them in a separate fridge but I raid it.

I burp a lot in general. Though i've always been a bit of a windy sort of person.. I wasn't as bad as I am now. Which still isn't bad. I'm pretty sure wind was one of the things mentioned over a year ago before I had surgery...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
