    Brief background, all my dieting failed, I loved nutrisystem, but just could stay on it past 6 months.

    Now, I am in a pre-op situation. I was to stop the nutrisystem, and eat regular meals. It took a while, but now I am building my own meals. Never spiced or rubbed s chicken before in my life, until now. I can pass fast food joints, even when I am hungry. Grabbing an apple is second nature, and I push for better Fiber count. I actually watch cooking shows for ideas of what I could cook up. Two months, I lost 15 lbs of my starting 394. I haven't felt better. Normally, if I lost 15 lbs, I'd hit a pizza as a "celebration.". No desire for that now, just want to tick off another 2 lbs. My only problem is perhaps not enough vegetables, and need better meal scheduling.

    So, I feel like I could keep doing this, and maybe won't need surgery. Or am I falling into a trap?

    Sleeved Feb 14th I will not weigh myself until I can fill and see a difference. I still can only do 2oz of fluids I get on the bike 3xs a day ten mins a day and put in about 5000 steps. When i go in to see the Dr. If he tells me I have not lost 12 pounds then him and I will revisit what I have been doing.

    Increase intake Protein etc..your at what they call a stall..your body is not use to the drastic lost so it needs time to catch up..on one of the doctors notes they explain about it more and what you can do sometimes it works and sometimes it does not but it's worth a try..if you can't find it let me know I'll search for it again and post it for you

    It's no trap and this one is all on you! If you like the ideal weight and will continue the new healthy life style then do not do the surgery remember the surgery is just a tool and you have found another tool that helps you. Just keep maintaining keep using the tool for help and guidance and if you do not feel you need the surgery DON'T. Remember you have found another tool to replace the main tool. Good luck to you

    I had my surgery on August 2nd. Converted from a Lap Band. So far so good. I am 8 weeks out and eating regular foods. I still cant eat raw veggies i'm waiting for that. I am down 38 pounds and currently in a stall.

    Don't forget you can increase your fluids, Proteins, increase activity and up your calories to try to break the stall. Your body is just telling you one thing now you have to trick it to do another...or just wait the stall will pass..good luck

    So I'm still going to the classes just received a call after all my blood work was done that I was ok for surgery now I have to see a cardiologist. I guess after I see the cardiologist they will set a date and time!? Im still a little confused on that one been to so many classes and told so many things that's the one thing that has not been told as to when one decides to tell you the surgery date..well I know it's not Oct 16th thats the day I see the cardiologist so now the wait is really on. I'm glad to read others journeys and I wish everyone the greatest success in a healthier life
