3months and the scale isnt budging!



Recommended Posts

It's been months and I finally feel I have good restriction, I haven't been snacking, I have my workout routines and have been eating my healthy home made meals and I can't get lower than 220-217. The number just stays in between these three numbers. How can I get it to go down?!!! Today I start a new workout class, kettle bell kickboxing which should shake my body up but what can I do about the food to get this weight off??:0/

How many calories do you think you are taking in? I have seen on other posts where people have suggested upping your calories, slightly, to accommodate for the exercise. If you are taking in 600-800 and burning 400 or more working out your body may be freaking out. Maybe try bumping your calories slightly, make sure you are getting in a post exercise shake? Keep up on your Water and don't give up.

My NUT said to up your calories by 100 per week for 2 weeks if there's no change up them by another 100.

I believe you both but it's scary. Haha. Ok I will try it with healthy Proteins. My Water intake has been great! I am a Lapband to sleeve revision and my first two months I barely felt restriction. This month I finally feel what everyone is talking about and yet the losing has slowed down. Ill try eating more Snacks. Thanks.

I stalled for the entire 5th month. It was irritating, but it eventually broke. I've read a few posts where people who are around a year or more out have had a few extended stalls.

Don't worry about it. Just keep doing what you are doing. Your body is probably still trying to figure out what is going on.

I agree with the above. I have found that my weight has several weights that it loves. These weights are usually weights that I maintained for some period of time . When I loose weight and get to these weights it is as if my body says ok we're there lets stay there. The weight will always come off if I just continue even though it is very frustrating. Keep exercising eat and drink the right amount and I will guarantee the weight will come of.

Yes i was told to increase my intake,so i set my timer every two hours to eat even when i'm not hungry,and also you could be losing inches and it will not show on the scale, i notice when i was walking on the treadmill every day my scale would not move,so i stop the exercising for a while and my scale started moving i know strange,but it's working i wil start back again,but for now it's working i probally burning up what i did not have to burn so it stall my weight loss.but keep doing what you doing it will start moving again don't get discourage,,and stay away from that scale for a while :)..

        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
