Hello guys. I am great full tom have this forum to learn so much. I am 5 months post op and have lost almost 60 lbs. I find that I am not losing as much as I used to and I go into constant stalls. I know its my diet. Sometimes I am not able to eat what I should and whey Protein gives me diarrhea.. i know TMI... Im hoping that someone can give me some encouragement or a meal plan to follow so that I can kick this weight loss off again. I just hope I am not alone in this... It feels crazy when you dont lose weight. Please help....

Thank you,

Swany

Wow! 12 lbs a month is great! My Dr said to expect 10lbs a month. If Whey bothers you, have you tried soy Protein Powder? I don't like the texture as much, but it has lots of Protein and you can get it in flavors or plane. I make a hot chai tea with1cup 1% milk, one oz of soy protein isolate powder, a Decaf teabag, stevia, and spices... heat...but not TOO hot or the soy gets lumpy (32grams protein). Do you log your calories and protein? I use fitday.com. It helps me keep on top of whats going in. I do not have the sleeve yet, but coming up soon! Im sure i will have challenges just like you, get back on that wagon, your doing great! Keep checking in here, I'm sure I will need your support in January!

Just eat your Protein first, and then stick with green veggies. Steer clear of the carbs, and you'll lose weight. Kick up your exercise, and increase your water/clear Fluid intake. If it's your diet, cut out what you know is causing your stalls. Stay positive ! ! !

I agree with Tiff. Keep your carbs under 30 grams per day and you will lose weight.

Carbs are evil. If you eat them, you will crave more.

Tell us what kinds of things you are eating, and maybe we can be of more help.

When you say to keep carbs under 30 g a day does that include the carbs from skim milk and vegetables?

Get the South Beach Diet book and follow the basic principals of that program. It is a fabulous and healthy way of life, and even if you do phase 1 for one week, you'll rid yourself of the carb cravings and feel really good. The SB plan pretty much works with the basic plan for the sleeve... healthy Proteins, low fats/lean meats... healthy carbs, but you add them back in slowly and see which ones cause you cravings. Good luck!

Yes, a carb is a carb and it really does not matter where it comes from . Your body treats carbs like sugar . There are healthy carbs which would be the first choice if you're going to eat carbs, like the ones that come from veggies . I would stay away from carrots, corn, and peas which are all high carb veggies.

The South Beach diet is a great plan to follow . I agree with that too.

I want to thank everyone who responded and gave me some positive feed back. It means alot to me that I am not in this alone.. I have started a new regimen with food and it seems to be working. Not only is the scale moving but I feel better too. I finally realize how easy it is to eat a bunch of empty carbs and calories. I say to anyone who is feeling like I have to always try to get back on track.. We are only human and we all need help every once in a while.. LOVE u GUYS!!!!

      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.
