You're not eating enough. Up your calories to at least 1200. You can't workout @ 900 calories for 60 mins and lose. Not eating enough, even with exercise, will halt your loss.

Good luck!

Oh my God when I was pre-op I started on a low-calorie diet of 1,200 calories a day - when I was post-op and finally back on solids, I thought, oh, now that I am banded, I can start eating less, because I get full faster. I was on 1,000 calories a day, and the pace at which I lost slowed down tremendously, also putting me into a depression. Even after getting fills and going to the doctor and having them tell me my loss was good, I still was dissatisfied because of how much I lost on 1,200! So I upped my calories, and my loss has been great! I am working out more, so I expect that to be helping tremendously with the loss, though I think the upped intake definitely has a hand in it. Whatever you try, whatever works for you, just know that everyone's body is different, and while all of us have the same normal range BMI goal, our journeys should be tailored to what we need!

I'm thinking of upping my calories from 1200 to 1400. I have been working out a lot more and doing kickboxing as well as the gym and my weightloss has stalled. I may try it for a week and see what happens. Thing is I am full at 1200, so maybe I will add a Protein Shake or something so it kind of goes right through

      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
