I had my surgery on 11-8 and i've lost 20 lbs..i'm on stall #2 and wondering if i'm doing something wrong or is the weight lose and stalls normal..i'm not overeating in any way but i've added some healthy carbs light whole wheat bread and brown rice a few times..there have been a few time that i've eaten about 1 hour before bed but it was always a small amount and healthy so i'm wondering if these couple of things are keeping me from loosing weight or if i'm just in a normal stall and doing good. i started off at 214 so i'm wondering if thats why i feel like i'm not loosing like others on here (and everywhere else). i'm scared that i'm going to stay this size forever and wasted my money...what do yall think???any input will be appreciated

You will hit lots of stall along the way. Also the less you have to lose over all the slower it will come off. 20lbs in just under a month is great.

I had my surgery on 11/7 and have lst 26 pounds but last week was a slow week, only a pound. But I am so pleased and happy that I'm losing. I'm still on liquids. Three Protein Shakes and one yogurt. I am not hungry and have no desire to eat foods--yet! I know this won't last forever so I'm taking advantage of it. But I understand the feeling of eating next to nothing and gaining or staying the same. That's what happened to me with my lap band. I'm so glad to have that out and to have been sleeved. We are all in the same boat. As long as we stick to our plans we will succeed. Hang in there everyone. This hard work will pay off. Keep up the great work.

I had my surgery the day before you weigh 40lbs more and I have only lost 22lbs post surgery. I also exercise everyday and training for a half marathon.(have always been fit & fat) Also on my second stall. I am pleased with my loss and so should you! :)

Dont be hard on yourself, your body is still adjusting to ur new stomach... just give yourself time and start measuring yourself because i have noticed that when i am not losing weight, am losing inches!! Keep us updated. (BTW i currently live in the middle east and most of the food i eat has carbs and am still losing weight, just be careful to not overdo it)...

Stalls are normal and some weeks will be bigger losses than others. I found a stall caused my mental state to become chaotic, so I only weigh once a month. If I'm stalled, I generally have no clue.

How many diets have you been on in the past where you've lost 20lbs in a month? This is a new lifestyle choice, not a diet. Consumers have been conditioned to want and get everything now. Instant gratification. Your body isn't listening to marketing hype and doesn't give a crap about how you are doing compared to others, no matter what the consciousness thinks. Let your body do its thing while you continue to make good choices. Slow or medium progress is better than no progress.

I had my surgery back in May, and I see my nutritionist once a month and even though is been 7month she said NO (Bread,Pasta,Potatoes or any type of starch food) NOT even whole grain... Because it will stop the weight loss process, which is completely TRUE!!! I didn't listen for a while, and for a whole month I wasn't losing weight, didn't matter how much cardio, gym, or whatever I was doing... The eating part is very important...!!!

      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.
