Plateau's are normal, try changing up you workout, do weight first than cardio.

Sorry it's short, leaving for the airport...... Pray for me, tomorrow is my SURGERY!!!!

Started at 230 now 6 months out and at 180. I would like to lose more but I'm a slow loser. Happy for every pound. I haven't lost any in a couple of months. Need to excercise but I hate it.

I started at 234 now 133. Worked out in the begining no longer work out. I don't gain much just 2-3 lbs after my cycle then always back to 133 -131lbs. i eat pretty much anything I want still can't stand carboonated drinks cold they give me severe indigestion. Can't really drink and eat at the same time I get full really quick. After 17 months out down 100lbs i still can't consume more than 4oz at a time..

No point for surgery if you are 240 lbs.

I do t know why you say this. I was 245 and BMI was 42, I am only 5' 2" so am short. Have you ever tried to lose 100 lbs on your own? This statement made me kind of mad.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
