I never actually considered the 5 week projection as relevant. It was based on repeating that particular day's diet and exercise every day for the next five weeks to obtain the projection. My diet and exercise changed every day and subsequently, so did the projection. Plus, my weight came off slowly and never in the amount indicated by the projections anyway.

It just started doing that to me this week too! I agree that it's a bummer. I liked seeing that 5-week projection - even if it may not have been accurate it was a nice way to reinforce that I'd had a good day. I wonder if that starts in after a certain period of logging low calories? I wish I could reset it... alas. we will indeed be even more wonderful and beautiful 5 weeks from now!

I noticed that change, too. I wonder if it's if you get WAY below the 1200 or so they think everyone should be on? I only get around 600-800 a day so I used to get the projection and the "starvation mode" warnings but now just that warning.

Nope. I has a "close" day yesterday and it still didn't do the projection.

@@safemancsp just added you. welcome to the forum. when are you looking at surgery?

I just started the process with my surgeon the day before yesterday. My insurance company (Aetna) requires 3 months of supervised diet prior to giving approval. So, I am looking at probably mid to late January before I will have surgery.

      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.

      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.
