Sleeved on 12/17 and down SEVEN pounds. Reviewed diet and exercise with doc today and I am not doing anything "wrong.". It's just my stupid-slow metabolism.

Dec 14 down 20lbs.

Y'all need to remember that some stalls are due to not enough intake to where the body goes into starvation mode and becomes defensive about letting go of anything. Try try and keep trying to get your required intake of Protein.< /p>

This is my first post so I have to start somewhere. :) From my highest weight the week before surgery (12/3) to today, I have lost 58 lbs! The week of liquids before surgery took care of 22 lbs but I have been super excited to have lost so much the first month. Even though I still have quite a bit to lose, I'm optimistic.

The number one thing I have made sure to do is WALK everyday! Today I did 3.56miles. I am finding I am super hungry (probably due to high calorie burn). I

am doing three shakes a day and get to start weight training tomorrow (2wks post-op, only allowed to loft up to 25lbs for next month). I am also doing creamy Soups (strained). And K2O Water Protein mixes.

I am trying to keep the weight loss momentum moving forward (praying for no stalls!).

You will get there! Just takes focus and movement.

Good luck :)

Once again, we get conflicting info from our doctors...not one standard answer...I was told NOT to lift anything heavier than 20 lbs (in every day life) and absolutely no weight lifting until the beginning of February (end of January/end of 6 week period). Walking yes. Weights no.

Every doctor is different. My advise is to follow YOUR physicians recommendations. My doctor has sleeved many former professional athletes (myself one) and has had huge success with them. He (my doc) also has a much more rigorous nutrition plan than most, but the results are incredible.

I only shared what I am doing because people have asked. I am not suggesting that anyone lift weights unless specifically directed to do so by his/her doctor. I am suggesting WALK. Everyone can walk to get started on excellerating the process.

Sleeved on 12/4 with a preop weight (no pre-op diet) of 239.9 and today I was 209. I had my lap band removed and the sleeve done. I had about a 1 week stall when I advanced to real food.< /p>

      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.
