I am going on a four week stall.. Getting tired of it, but I figure this is a lifetime change so I figure I can be patient. Plus I'm not hungry so all is good

Gained from when, 12/12? Or in the last few days?

Do you mean you've haven't lost any weight or that you've gained recently?

How much have you gained? Please don't lose heart, you've come this far on the journey. I've had to re evaluate what I am eating and drinking. Most of us seem to have experienced a stall. It is good to stay connected here for support. Keep us posted. You can do this.

I'm a 12/5 sleever and I lost quickly... hit a stall... gained 2 lbs... then lost 4... gained 2 of them back and the scale hasn't moved in almost 2 weeks... Maybe I should try and up my calories for a few days...just to make sure my body knows it isn't being starved... I am managing to get in 700-800 cals and but I keep coming in shy of 60 grams of Protein ...

I sometimes think about giving up but... I've had surgery... give up how? it is what it is... and I am going to make the best of it...

Dee,

Yup me too, I wanna give up when everyone is eating "good" stuff. Like today at lunch in a room full of twenty something skinny beautiful girls. Then I think, give up how, my stomach is gone! lol sometimes I take one bite too many and realize giving up is impossible. That was the whole reason I had surgery so I couldn't give up.

We have to be patient. At some point we will win. I just keep yelling at myself

(in my head) "DON'T LOSE FOCUS!"

I hope it works.

K

Anyone who is stalled should really check carb levels. If I eat over 40g of carbs per day I can actually gain weight overnight. Under 20g of carbs and I lose really well. Everyone may have a different level of carb tolerance where your body wants to store Water and glycogen. Mine has always been very low.

I have my calories set @ 900, but rarely get over 600 in and my carb level is 23 and record shows I have never exceeded it. Oh well!

that happens to me. I guess it's because we see ourselves every day lol. But people around noticed more. I still see myself big too but my clothes now fit better and some are even starting to fit loose plus I am now wearing clothes that didn't fit before. I guess that's when I realize I am actually loosing weight :D

      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.
