I am almost a year out and feeling freat. I have gone from 245 to 161. Only 1 lb to original goal weight but would really like to get down to 150 now. Started running a couple of month ago. Need to start working out to tone and build muscle. Have not lost any in over a month not sure what to do to help out. Worried I have stretched my pouch or something.

Loss goes very slowly at the end. I lost the last twenty pounds very slowly over six months. I had entire months where I didn't lose a single thing, followed by a huge, unexpected drop of seven or eight pounds in a four day period.

Congrats on your success so far. If you're worried about stretching your sleeve, it's unlikely that you have. It's more likely that you've slipped on the basics and gotten into a routine. If you aren't, log your food for three days. Don't modify what you eat because you're logging, either. Just count it all up and see where you're at. Nine times out of ten the issue is there. Make sure you're still getting your Water each day, too. I'm rotten about this but when I get back on the water it always pushes that extra bloat out and I see a difference on the scale.< /p>

If you're eating perfectly and exercising and still not losing - hang in there. It's tough. I'm at the point where I'd love to see 130 pounds but it's just not happening. It might just be that I've hit my body's stopping point. I'm very thin under my excess skin. Make sure you consider that, too, if you have a lot of extra skin. I'd be willing to bet that revamping your eating (cut your calories by 10-20%) and starting a strength training workout will give you those last few pounds.

Best,

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
