I haven't been losing weight for at least a month or two. It's my fault. I haven't been eating total garbage at all, but I've definitely fallen off that wagon and am getting back on. Any suggestions as to how to do this in a way that doesn't make me feel deprived? Thanks in advance!

Having just started out so I may not be the best help but: If it's hard for you because of temptation maybe you could try cutting one bad habit at a time, maybe every week or two. You could also try going back on a liquid diet for a week to bring you back to square one. Have you had a fill lately, do you need to go in and have one? Just a couple of ideas :) Hope it helps!

I haven't had a fill for maybe a month -- and it's odd, I'm kind of scared to go back in because I want to have lost weight before going! But you know what, that's silly. I'm going to call tomorrow and schedule one. I think I need it!

Start over... liquids, mushies for a few days. Plan out your meals. Make yourself satisfied. Find things that are lower calorie that you can eat more of. I'm assuming you are like me, where you can still eat anything. Just fill up on low cal stuff!

I wouldn't jump to a fill, get your eating on track first, and check your hunger level.

I'm not sure what type of WOE you're trying to follow, but if it's low carb, many people struggle with going cold turkey. So for 3 days just give up sugar (including fruit), then for 3 days give up what (and the sugar). For the next 3 days give up grains (along with the rest). Finally for the last 3 days give up starches. On day 13 tweak your diet a bit more so that now you're eating just Protein and green vegies...and keep your carbs under 60. Under 30 will result in faster weight loss.

If you're eating under 60gm of carbs you can eat a diet higher in fat. If you're eating over 60, you probably should pay attention to the fat.

If you're not doing low carb, then you can just ignore my post. :D

      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
