Ok, I am in no way freaking out, YET, but I am a bit frustrated. I was sleeved may 3rd. I feel wonderful. I am active, still struggling to et Water in due to pain and nausea from the water, but prior to surgery on the 2 week pre diet, I lost 20 pounds. I get sleeved, yak for 3 days, come home on liquids, and to date have only lost 1 whole pound. Am I doing something wrong, or missing something? I just though the stall didnt start till 2 weeks, but this is a bit disappointing I guess If I am honest

Im 9 weeks in.... Since my surgery I have struggled with 3lbs. I will lose a lot and then stall an go up and down three pounds then I will lose. Then I will do it again... Up and down 3lbs. I asked a lady that had the surgery and she said to drink lots of Water bc she does the same. I know you said you get sick, but I did what she said and it worked. I know everyone is different though. Just a tip for you. Good luck! :)

You probably still have Fluid retention from the IV fluids you received in the hospital. I gained 14 lbs of fluid from that but it came off in around a week, and then I started losing "real" weight. Hang in there and try not to weigh for at least another week...and drink as much Water as you can and walk as much as you can.

That's great you los 20 lbs on the 2 week pre-diet!

I'm guessing your body is still adjusting to that huge loss and you will see another drop soon.

        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
