I've stalled as well. I'm 4 1/2 months out and been stuck between 211 - 213. So now I'm trying "Bootcamp" and see how that works for me.

I know it's going to sound crazy, but for the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) eat foods you wouldn't eat. Like if you go out to a restraunt get some Protein (obviously) but make sure it's a little on the indulgent side. Like for me, we go to this seafood place and I get bacon wrapped shrip stuffed with cheese and that seems to do the trick! And don't worry about the content, sometimes your body needs some fat and carbs to help speed up the process! And it can't be that bad for you, considering I can only eat two and then I'm stuffed

Basically, on a Saturday and Sunday don't count calories and eat what you feel like...it always works for me :)

I'm on the same boat I am 3 months out at stuck around 195, I gain a pound and lose it like every other day! My nut told me to up my Protein and Water. I'm frustrated because I am in between jean sizes so they r falling off of me or way to tight! So frustrating! I have added little exercises at work like more stairs or lunges but with my school and work schedule I have little time to go to the gym :/

When I hit an "adjustment period" I take a deep breath, eat what I would ordinarily eat, work out at the gym as I would any other day, and give my body the time it needs to get ready for its next big weight loss period. Time cures all....managing to remain consistent during those non-weight-loss periods is the key for me. BTW...when I'm not dropping pounds is when I tend to lose the most inches. Its all good. :)

I was in a stall for more than a month so I up my Water to 6 16oz bottles a day plus my Protein Shake another 12oz of Fluid and if I work out I add 2 more water bottles and it sure did the trick cause I was going nutts almost giving up so check your water intake maybe thats all you need like me. Good luck!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
