55lbs in 4 months is TERRIFIC. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Your brain must be behind in catching onto that!!!!! Remember your body has to catch up to the fast weight loss. If you feel you are honestly doing everything right (exercising, eating the things, using your sleeve, tracking your food, getting in your water), then just keep doing it! Consistency despite slowed or stalled weight loss is key! Don't beat yourself up over it. Don't obsess over the number on the scale. Trust your sleeve to do what is meant to. Take measurements, your body might be reconfiguring itself and while your weight isn't dropping, it's redistributing or the gym is creating some new muscle. There are a lot of things that could be going on. It would probably be helpful to have more information to maybe pinpoint some new options to try!

I had surgery March 19th & I am down 56 lbs. yes I want to lose more, but if we lost it any faster it wouldn't be good on our bodies. Keep up the good work!

I had my sleeve surgery 5 month ago as well and I've lost 48 lbs. I went 2 weeks with no weight loss back in June. I was freaking out at the thought of having plateaued so soon. But, i kept doing the right things. Soon after the weight loss resumed. My weight loss has been gradual. Maybe more so than most. Everyones body is different. As long as i keep losing I will forever be grateful for this procedure. Im sure that you will start losing again. Give yourself some time. Gradual weightloss does have some advantages. I've been able to maintain much more of my skins elasticity and I'm in my mid-forties.

Sometimes you can break a stall by having a higher calorie day or treat to "trick" the body. The next few days, weight starts coming off again.

I agree with Dez with have a trick the body day. Also check and really count your Protein just when you think you are getting enough you just might not be. I was at a stall for a very long time and had to go on what I call a protein binge and eat nothing but protein all day for a few days kicked in and I dropped 8lbs that week.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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
