first of all how many carbs are you consuming?? Second are you getting your Protein and Water intake in. if you are getting less than 25 carbs in per day then up your water intake. You have to totally change what you are doing. Kinda throwing your body for a loop. But it is extremely important to watch carb intake.

We have the same surgery date! I was going through a 2 week stall and it finally broke yesterday. I upped my Water, lowered my carbs and made sure I hit that 60 grams of Protein. I upped my water tremendously. I also went to the gym 3 times this week. I tried to burn at least 300 calories while I was in there. I woke up this morning and I had lost 3 lbs. I posted a story like yours and I got some advice from a fellow sleever and I'm glad I followed it cause the stall was driving me crazy. Don't get too discouraged, I hope that this info helps. Take care. Let us know when your stall breaks.

Unfortunately, stalls are part of the process. It is really hard to stay focused and not let them get you down. I don't think that there is anyone that hasn't had a stall or even a gain along the way. Keep your Protein up, try to stick to the diet plan as far enough total calories) even if it seems like you are eating too much and try to exercise at least 30 minutes 3 times a week. I found that if I deviated from any of those 3 things, I would stall and had even gained.

I'm working out 4 times per week for an hour, 80 grams of Protein per day, about 20 carbs per day and getting 64 to 80 oz's of Water. I did increase my calories 2 days last week to about 900 and my fat intake because I know from losing weight previously that if I don't get enough calories or fat that I stall. Once I did those things I lost one pound each day. I'm praying that this is the end of this stall. I will keep everyone posted and thank you all for your help!!! Smooches!!

      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.
