My surgery was Nov 29 and I am down to 157 from 212 pre prep and lost 12 on the prep diet. I am down to a 6 or 8 and feel amazing. I have been careful not to beat myself up about the weight loss and think it will just happen. To the person who wants a snickers just eat one then! You probably aren't eating enough calories right now. If you are net below 800 in a day your body won't lose weight.

I'm 5'...very short! I carry most of my weight around my stomach and abdomen:-( killer on my back! I haven't taken measurements but I'm wearing 13/14...depending on the jean brands. I THINK I have some that are size 12. Idk what shape I am...butt' date=' legs and boobs have been the first things to go lol...

If you carry most of your weight in the middle them a 13/14 at 5' makes sense.There may be some brands where I would be bigger than an 8 but in most things an 8 is what I wear.Juniors sizing (odd number sizes) is a weird thing for me though bc I am pretty sure I would be to big for a 7 but I haven't bought anything in junior sizes lately.

Every Doctor is different. Mine has me on 600 cals. And has since the surgery. I am 6 months out. I am still losing but do worry about what will happen when I go on a maintenance plan.

Yes every dr is different. Mine has me on 1100 cals. Its rare I get all my cals but I have been losing still. My carb intake should be 93-120grams but I usually get from 45- 80 grams. I concentrate so much on Protein sometimes i forget! I have to really work to get those carbs in:-\

I was stuck for 6 weeks. Thought it was due to the Prozac my doc put me on for my PMDD, which started when the weight started coming off. (as a pcoser, I am unfamiliar with these hormones!). So two weeks ago, stopped the med and no change. Boo! Upped my workouts this week and dropped almost two pounds so I hope I am back to losing some more! Good luck everyone!

Started this journey Nov 1st 2012

Started 266

Currently 176

That's a total loss of 90 pounds. I stalled for almost two months and just started seeing the scale go down. I eat under 1000 calories a day. I'm wearing med to large shirts and 12-14 pants. My tummy seems to be holding on a long as possible. I need to get into the gym and start toning. Overall pretty darn happy with my new life :)

Still mostly stalled.... Anyone else wonder about when the belly fat (gut) will catch up with the other areas? Seems like everywhere is getting smaller BUT my belly!

      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
