Started Soft Foods (Sleeved 5/17)..scared To Eat To Prevent Lbs Loss...



Recommended Posts

Refusing to eat is not conducive to living. You don't wanna get dead!! K?? Your loss may take a temporary hit, but that is your body readjusting. Don't worry about it. Eat the food. Drink the Water. Do the exercise and you will lose the weight. Sleevie makes it easier to do that. Do not refuse to eat. You need Protein and calories and such to allow your heart to beat!! :) Be good girl.

I felt this way too. But you eat so very few cal. Dont worry it still comes off faster them any diet you have ever done.

I was actually at a stall, then started soft foods & the weight started coming off! Go figure! So doesn't necessarily mean you will put on weight!

I agree Nj Sharron... If you dont eat your body will think its in starvation mode and your body will stop losing. As long as you eat low carb high Protein you should never have to worry about gaining. Good luck and rem

You need to eat to lose weight. You're body is very intelligent. If it does not receive nourishment it will start believing that it is starving & will try to retain all of its stored energy(fat) conversely if you do provide it with consistent nourishment it will feel more secure and will release its stores(fat) because it knows there is more coming soon.

I was sleeved on the 17th too. I'm praying my sleeve can tolerate soft foods. I'm don't think I will stop losing. Maybe a short stall until my body adjusts.

Well I blamed my huge stall on starting solid food so I just wanted to emphasize the need to persevere (trying to be funny but sounded too serious! ;) ) just don't freak out if you stall a little.

My longest stall is when I started solid food. I had a few day stalls after 2 weeks or so out but I have been in this stall for about 2 to 3 weeks. My surg told me not to stress, I am finally starting to lose a few pounds now.

Stick with it!,

      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
