Do try upping you calories and carbs but do it with healthier ones, your body may be adjusting to your constant calories. And up your Water, people say this helps.

It's hard not to stress about it but dang! Those scales are the root of all evil!

It will come off, it has no choice, if nothing else, I am learning that patience is key. Something I have never excelled in. :wacko:

Hang in there sweetie. :)

Hang in there! It happens, I did the same thing then the next month lost 15 pounds. I guess it just takes time for the body to catch up and I found out that when I start stalling I panic and stop eating as much which only hinders the losing processing, because your body is like oh no she is not feeding us HOLD ON TO WHAT WE HAVE! LOL I started eating more frequent just smaller meals. You will get there.

LOL I started eating more frequent just little meals about 5 times a day and it seems like it has really helped. Just make sure it is healthy choices. You will get there.

I'm right with you. I'm 4 1/2 months out and I've had HUGE stalls. No biggy. Be patient and it will work. Stay with your healthy eating habits because this is what our new lifestyle is about. I don't do carb binges because I'm a past carbaholic and they do wicked things to my head and I refuse to fall into that trap again.

I know that with time eating a healthy way is going to get me to goal. No, I didn't say I don't do an occasional treat, but I did say I'm not going off track right now just to experiment with a quick loss fix.

Be patient

I haven't had my sleeve yet but have you tried changing up your exercise routine. You may want to even change up the food you are eating and try new things. Sometimes our bodies get use to the same old thing so we need to shock it with a change. Just a suggestion. I got this from my trainer at the gym.

Your body is transitioning! If you are loosing inches, but not weight, that's an amount of fat (takes up more space) now taken up by the same weight of muscle (is denser- takes up less space). Keep doing what you're doing. If you decide to up your calories for a few days, make it GOOD calories. No sense in filling yourself with things you shouldn't be eating anyways!

      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.
