Starting to freak a bit. I'm 5 months out & am doing absolutely nothing different. What used to be a steady constant weight loss - 79 pounds so far, now in the last 2 days I've gained 2 pounds!! It's making me crazy. I've never missed my supplements, haven't had a taste of bread at all, am active & get in my Protein Shakes & Water. I don't want to be that person that is constantly on the scale, but I was so used to seeing the numbers going down, this is making me panic. I just finished my period a few days ago so I'm hoping that's it. I really am very chill people - this isn't like me at all to have such a frantic reaction! UGH!!

I just posted this on another persons post so ill recycle lol.

Stalls definitely happen. I was sleeved 8/27/12 and have lost over 100 lbs. my first stall was a couple weeks after Christmas. I lost nothing for over 3 weeks. I freaked out and started panicking. Then this last weeks he weight just seemed to fall off. In 9 days I've lost 14 lbs. Just keep your focus it will pass.

Thank you so much. I wouldn't mind so much if the scale didn't move, but it's moving in the wrong direction!!! Did that ever happen to you?

Yes it went up and down. I tend to blame the whole electronic machine thing lol. Your weight will fluctuate quite a bit. I look at it like this if your consuming 64 oz of Fluid that's 4 pounds. Doesn't necessarily equal something bad just more of how it is. If you become hypnotized with the number you will quickly start doubting yourself. Focus on how you feel. Just because the number doesn't change doesn't mean your not losing inches.

I'm glad I read this thread. I've been at a stall the last 4 days and it was driving me insane. Thanks for the advice.

      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
