wow flab u less!! Im not an expert, but 300-400 calories doesn't seem like enough!! I would be falling over at that number. Are you loosing inches? I have noticed I haven't had these huge weight loss that some are experiencing, but my clothes are bigger and I have went from a size 20 to a size 16. I had my surgery on the 19th and I can still tell there are times that, for what ever reason, I'm retaining Water....my wedding ring is usually very loose and there are times when it is hard to get off. So some could be that.

I would suggest you eat a little more.....(not for sure about the starvation mode). But also It seems like you are trying to stick to a high protein/low carb diet which is what I am doing with good results, but my numbers are more like 800calories/60 protein/30 carbs I have lost about 26 pounds in 4 weeks. but we all are different.

But although yogurt and cottage cheese are good for you, they do have carbs.

Keep up the good work!! You are going to wake up one day and see that you have lost several pounds over night and wonder how that could have happened!! The body is a mysterious thing. Im proud of you for working to establish your routine that includes good eating habits and exercise. Thats half the battle.

I'm in agreement your body is in starvation mode you need lots of more calories especially from Protein.

      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
