Hi guys,

I posted a topic about a month ago where I hit a stall. I just couldnt lose weight for nothing. I think I was actually gaining weight. Well I took some advice from some people on here and it worked. I was eating:

Breakfast: one egg (usually white), 2 slices of bacon and maybe a slice of toast

snack; orange juice or popcorn

lunch: 1/2 tuna sandwich

snack: 1/2 soda or 10 grapes

dinner: maybe a snow crab cluster, or tuna, or 4 scallops or maybe a chicken leg

snack: pork rinds

exercise 1 hour a day (EVERYDAY)

and I was not losing anything. well i changed things up. I started paying more attention to my calorie intake. I modified some things and the weight started falling off again

Now I eat:

Breakfast: 1 package of instant oatmeal

snack; 1/2 serving of orange juice (i need the oj to help keep my blood sugar high enough to keep me going)

Lunch: 1 cup of salad with low fat dressing (no meat on my salad. just plain romaine lettuce, carrots, cucumber...basic salad)

snack: 10 grapes

Dinner: something seafoodish with lots of Protein

snack 1/2 cup popcorn

and during the day i enjoy TONS of propel zero (no calories, fat or carb) or crystal light (theres some calories in it, but i dont drink much maybe 2 packages a week) and when I want to splurge I get a sprite zero or a diet sparkling green tea with strawberry and kiwi (no calories) AND exercise everyday for 1 hr

Well because I have reduced my intake, I just weighed in at.......289!!! the first time since graduating High school i have been under 333!!! So now I got 90 pounds to onederland!!!! I can do it and I know I can now....GO ME!!!

WooHoo! Way to go girl! 300 was a mile stone for me just as it is for you too. I was also excited about losing 100 pounds which was at about 275 for me.

Keep up the good work - you can do it!

I absolutely love it when people break their stalls... I know how frustrating it is and what a complete uplift it is to see the scale move again. Good for you ... keep up the good work and positive attitude!! =]

      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. 🤞
