Stopped weight loss



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I was sleeved on 1/23/2013. My first week I was dropping about 2 pounds a day, woo hoo! This past week however, I have not lost anything. I want to be patient and I know that there are stalls throughout the weight loss process but I didn't think I'd be going through one only one week after surgery. It's a little discouraging since I am only on liquids and I thought the weight would be pretty much falling off at this point.

As long as you are not gaining 2 pounds a day, you should be OK. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

According to me if you want to lose weight than must try to do some exercise and also avoid to eat fast food. Also take low fat and carbs in your diet. Drink more Water and also used vinegar in salads.

Is anyone aging weight? I have gained 10 pounds in 4 months. I'm always hungry, choosing the wrong foods, not exercising. No big surprise why I'm gaining right. I need help.

I was sleeved April 2012 and I am having the same problem and am getting very discouraged. I am afraid I am going to gain it all back. I feel like scale is creeping up and I am getting freaked out. I am going back to Protein Shakes and basics to see if that helps. I also made an appointment with my surgeon to see if there is excessive stretching of the sleeve!

We should strive daily to quit thinking "fast track" like we did in the past with diets. If we stop and change our thoughts to common sense ones like. Do the math, common sense tells us a much smaller pouch holds less now. Don't compare your results to others all bodies are unique in their own way...much to consider there like dna, blood type, health conditions, etc. I am glad mine did not come off faster than it did cause I don't ever want any if it back. When I did get a few lbs back, it was due to some meds I was testing for my neuropathy and fibromyalgia. AND I was nit following directions like I should have been. But lesson learned and am dedicated to losing my final 40 lbs. I don't worry about how long it will take because I know if make right choices for myself. My body will do it's job. I am in the pilot seat now. Another thing is changing my thought regarding this is a lifetime challenge, not an overnight miracle.

      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.
