If you're following the nutrition guidelines you will definitely keep losing!

Are you logging your food intake?

Are you writing down your weight loss?

Sometimes it seems like its stopped but its still moving just slower

How are you doing with your Protein and Water?

I stalled at 3 months for a week or two. It broke. Even gained a few lbs. How long has it been since u saw a loss? Also how many cals are u taking in per day? An increase of calories often helps :)

I'm right there with you! After 5 weeks I was ready to lose it. I get me Protein in, Water in and have been exercising 4-5 times I week. Finally emailed the nurse at my doctors office and gave her MFP username and password for her to look at my log. I log everything.. She looked and suggested I up my calories. I'm trying that now. I was sleeved almost 6 weeks ago and I'm down 12 pounds which most of that was lost week 1! She told me I'm doing a great job and to keep up the good work!!

I'm in the same boat. I'm almost 8 months out and my scale has completely stopped moving. It hasn't moved in weeks, I'm getting discouraged. Hopefully this passes for us soon.

for one, i was never too much of a Water drinker ....so i'm guilty there ! as far as loggin in i dont do that either ....i am just not one to jot stuff down...too aggravating and time consuming!!......i make sure i have 3 premeier Protein Shakes (30 gr Protein there !) a day ,and at least 4 days a week ill have a tuna or ckn salad kit for lunch...other than that ill snack here and there but make sure its protein.so ......i do feel i am getting in the protein . on my surgery day dec8 ..i was a tight 22 and now im a loose 16 !!!So ....i have definatly dropped sizes but get discouraged gettin on that scale !!!

i have a problem with Fluid retention and retain fluid in my chest and lower legs . when i do take a fluid pill ...1 strong one every 7-10 days , i lose literally 8 pounds overnight!! ive been at 192-195 for like the last 3 1/2 weeks and have not taken a fluid pill in a good 2 weeks ..so ....tomorrow i am gonna take a fluid pill and pee it all out !!!:):(.......i have also been snackin on alot of cashews ........think that could be my prob???i do know theres alotta salt !

It could be the salt but you sound like your doing everything right. You have lost a lot of inches that is awesome. The scale is the last place you want to depend on for validation of your hard work... The way your clothes are fitting is proof you are losing fat and keeping muscle which exactly what we want to do...

The scale is just frustrating... I put mine away and found a lot of peace lol

I would try drinking a G2 Gatorade and stop using the Water pill... It throws off your sodium and electrolytes and just causes more Fluid retention later. You actually need some sodium to help your body release fluids naturally. The best place to get this is thru Gatorade or propel water

The nuts you can buy salt free if you want :)

Try getting in lots of water... It really flushes your system and speeds up weight loss!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
