53 down since 2/1, but started third week of stall. Strength training and cardio at the gym. Hunger never left, hardest in the evening. Working on the head game. This is an amazing tool. Trying to develop better relationship with food and old desires. One thing I have never felt before, I am enjoying the workouts at the gym.

I was sleeved on Feb 28th starting weight 205 current weight 173 so a total of 32 lbs. I have hit a stall and I am very concerned. I worry to much. Can the stomach stretch back out? I am able to eat 900 calories a day. I work out 3 x a week at Zumba and do an elliptical the other 4 days a week. I think I just need the scale to budge, I would like to see 169 lbs soon.

Thanks for the straw info. I was told I could but wasn't sure if it would make me gassy.

I think I can get more liquids in that way too.

      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.
