I am 18 lbs from onederland. My weight loss seems to have slowed as I have only lost 3.2 lbs in 3 1/2 weeks. I am 5 months post-op. Any suggestions on what I can do? I am doing Zumba twice a week for 45 min. & Fit Club once a week for 45 min & then I use my exercise bike at home for 30 min twice a week. I am still eating 70 g or more of Protein & less than 40 g of carbs & 64 oz or more of Water per day. Any tips or hints would be appreciated!

Hey there.

First off, Sounds like you're doing awesome. Kudos to you for being so dedicated. I wish I had the right answer for you, but all I can tell you is what has worked for me. Honestly, when i stall..... I eat junk. Carbs. Stuff I shouldn't. But if I up my calories one day and then back on track the Next day, for some reason my body reacts to it and the scale moves. I don't know if its just me tricking my body, I'm not sure. But that's my way/ story and its worked for me this far. I've never stalled more than a week or two tops. Stay up on your Water and try to up your calories for a day or two. If it doesn't work, then that's just not the way for you, but for me, always works. Best wishes!!

Tekara-Actually, Jan 26th I decided that once a month, I would allow myself something I wouldn't normally have. That day I had 1/2 of a belgian waffle with whipped butter & pecan Syrup from IHOP-I couldn't even eat the entire 1/2. Then I had 1/2 rack of ribs that evening. My carbs that day ended up being 104 as opposed to 40 of less. So, from Jan 15th (my weigh in for Jan.)-Feb 9, I only lost 3.2 lbs. My NUT said not to worry about calories but I haven't talked to her in quite awhile. I have an appt with the surgeon for another follow-up on Feb 28th. but I would hate to wait until then to find out how to get the weight loss moving again. I appreciate your response & maybe it will work. Anyone else have any suggestions?

      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
