Well let's start with more info.

How many calories are you eating per day? How many carbs?

Are you logging your food everyday? Have you changed anything about your diet?

I was stuck for 63 days with my weight loss going up 2 lbs then down 3lbs .. It was so frustrating untill i was sick with a cold and couldnt eat anything ... I finally lost 7 lbs and i realize why I had stalled.. It was my carbs ... I was eating too much carbs and eating alot of slider foods.. I wasnt gaining but was not loosing.. Stay away from bad foods and eat only good healthy ones .. it will make a big difference ... I have not been eating that slider foods and I'm loosing again ..Thank you Lord for that ..you must change your diet .. You have to eat good foods also ... no sugars and bad carbs for me .. this is JUST A TOOL!!! You still have to work at it and I finally have accepted that..

While you are trying to figure out why you are not losing, remember this...you haven't gained. How many times in your past have you been on a diet and lost 50-70 lbs, just to gain it all back plus some. I did it plenty of times. I know you're frustrated but try to focus on that and know this tool will work for you, you just have to identify the problem. Some ppl do have long stalls, just keep doing the right things and you'll get there. Hang in there, we are all pulling for you.

Hey,

all I can say is congratulations on your 70lb loss... that is amazing in 6 months ... good for you... stay positive and decide if you WANT to lose anymore, or whether you are contended where you are...

I agree with Maddie... you ain't gained and this is excellent!!

Good luck and let us know how you are... =]

I spoke to my surgical clinic about this topic last week as I had a 5-week stall in my 4th month. I was told that most sleeve patients have one or two pretty major stalls within the first year and that is based on their stats with their patients. I was like others - up and down the same 2-3 pounds BUT my clothes were incredibly more loose by the end of that stall. So I know for a fact that the inches continue to shift around even if the scale doesn't move but don't despair .. the scale will move again.

How are you doing now,.... Have you moved off the 70 lbs? Perhaps you will have to keep a journal of what you are eating/:thumbup1: I have lost a little over 20 lbs for surgery. Surgery will be next Weds. Have been reading everything I can. Wish you my best. MN Mary :thumbup:

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
