I'm six months out and have only lost 50lbs. I'm so frustrated. I started at 230lbs and now bounce between 180-182. How can I get the weight to start coming off again?

Yowza!! 50 pounds down... that's awesome! That's about 72% towards your goal. You really can't be disappointed with those numbers, can you?

But if you are really frustrated with those last few pounds, go back to basics would be my suggestion. Still keeping a food journal? Getting all your protien and Water in? Maybe change up your exercising a bit.

But, I say you are doing great. Don't compare yourself with others, don't get discouraged, the stall will pick up again. Good luck

I'm 6 months out as well, and have only lost 42 lbs, but I have not given up, I keep pluggin' along doing what I'm supposed to do. I attribute my slow losing to being over 50. I get in my treadmill 4-5X a week, Protein and Water. I am strictly staying away from all white carbs. I know its frustrating, I feel your pain. Especially when others have lost soooo much. But, I keep reminding myself that I could have never lost this much without surgery. Slow is better than not at all. Has yours been slow, or completely stopped? I have only lost 2 lbs over the last 5 weeks.

Try Liquid Protein only for a week and jump start your system again.

50 pounds is a major accomplishment! Way to go! How many weeks have u gone without seeing the scale move? Are ur clothes fitting differently?

I exercise like crazy and am mindful about my cals. I hit stalls pretty often, but they usually break after the three week mark.

Keep plugging away and try not to compare urself to others. U really are doing great!

Thanks everyone, I have gotten a couple of good recommendations. I have been stalled for at least 6 weeks, so I think I will go back to the basic and see if I break it.

      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. 🤞
