Anyone else dealing with weight loss slow down? I am only loosing about 3 lbs a month and that is with strict calorie counting and daily exercise. Anyone have a good way to jump start my weight loss again. Only have a month until my bandiversary

perhaps low-carbing it for a week will get the weight moving again. I am 20 pounds from goal and am low carbing it and the weight does seem to come off a bit faster. low carbing - i mean under 30 grams of carbs per day. I use myfitnesspal to track this info. I am also trying my hardest to stay under 900 calories per day which isn't that hard. The only exception is for special occasions like Mother's Day this Sunday. If i don't see some progress I am going to try for a week the below diet.

My weight loss is also totally stalled. My doc isn't worries, but I have only lost about 5 lbs since February. I am trying to up my Protein and increase Water intake now- but it is HARD. I was prob only taking in around 20 protein a day and now trying to find a way to get to around 100 and I am finding it really hard

Mine has slowed way down also. I am at my "sweet spot" and don't think I need a fill - my portions are good, I am staying "full" so I am not quite sure what is going on. When I look at the big picture my weightloss average is right where it is supposed to be - 1-2lbs/week, but geez I want more :) I just upped my exercise routine this week so hopefully I will see results soon. I was hoping to be at 130lb by my year anniversary but at this point it doesn't look like it will happen - So I reset my goals to be in the 150's for my year checkup with the doctor (June 30th). I do have to say that although my weightloss has slowed down I am so HAPPY with my results.

I was hoping to be 100 lbs down by my 1 year band-aversary - but that's not going to happen. I am at 80 lbs and my 1 yr is on June 8. I don't need a fill either.

How many cc's are you all at almost one year out?

I am at 10.6 cc's. Twice I have been overfilled and had to have some taken out.

Thanks for the thoughts guys I am feeling better. I get about 60 grams of Protein a day, and about 100 grams of carbs, and eat about 1100 calories total. I have started working out everyday to work on my tone. I am also down 80 lbs. but was hoping for 100 by my bandiversary June 4th.

How many calories is everyone eating a day? Am I high at 1100? Any less and I don't have the energy to do anything.

I am at 9.4 cc. I have tried going up to 9.5 cc twice but both times I dropped it back down because I was sticking to frequently. It is weird though I can eat almost everything at 9.4 and nothing at 9.5. So I wish there was more restriction to keep me from eating too much but I guess at this point it's back on me :(

Thanks everyone! I love having this support!

        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
