My Nut explained we lose in increments kind of like a stair, you lose some and then level off then lose more and level off for a bit. Our body keeps adjusting to the new weight loss. Also here is a link with some useful info.

http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.html I also keep my carbs under 20, I have hit a few stalls but I do keep losing inches.

Thank u, I have had very little info provided from my Nut or anyone at the Bariatric Center. Strange how our body adjusts itself! I've been keeping my carbs under 30, but I can do under 20. Thank you for the website , I will go there now :). Thanks again...

Well guys' date=' my one lb a day was WONDERFUL while it lasted, but now a week with no loss. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> anybody got any more wt loss tricks??[/quote']

Just remember, it couldn't have lasted. That kind of loss just isn't sustainable. I seem to have entered this phase of about one week of plateau, followed by a few days of pound-a-day loss...maybe that's the new normal now? But a pound day for weeks and weeks on end is probably something only the massively obese with hundreds of pounds to lose experience.

That's true, but it sure was great, lol!! I thought sure I had hit gold by dropping my carbs so low, but I'll keep trudging along!!!

Sleeved 3/8/13 @ 240 pounds. Today down to 205; happy with my results so far. Finally working out and anxious to continue and reach my goal!

We were sleeved the same day, I was 256 and down to 226... Can't wait to get in the teens!!

We are def on our way! I don't weight myself often because of the stalls and I start obsessing over the scales so once a month is all for me.

I want to do that, but I guess I'm soooo afraid of regaining (like all the other times) that I've become addicted. If I can get to 220, I will promise myself to only weigh once per week and lessen from there....I have to take baby steps to break this morning habit. At least it's only in the mornings now!!

Three things I never thought I'd want in my house:

1. A big brown ugly recliner

2. A snuggie

3. A plastic shower chair

This is my life:

I sit in the recliner, covered with the snuggie with the remote in one hand and my iPhone in the other. I watch trash tv all day in my room with the door closed while taking double the pain meds. I smoke pot with my cousin about twice a day. I sip Premier Protein shakes. I chew ice. I worry about this pain and that pain and wether they are normal. I walk. My grandmother gave me a bell to ring. My husband rubs my hands and thighs till I fall asleep at night.

This is literally the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Don't hate ;-)

I envy you!!! lol

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
