I only lost 3.8 lbs in July



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved July 8...starting weight 248 current weight 224 and I have been at my current weight for 2 weeks. I only walk at this time because I still have a little left side pain...Im trying to stay positive with it all and just let the weight fall off when its ready...I still have problems with food going down but it may be me not chewing correctly. Good luck to you all.

I'm going through something simular. I was sleeved on June 17th. I'm down 30lbs since surgery. The last few weeks I have been at a standstill and today when I weighed myself I had actually gained 3lbs! Im trying to

KEEP CALM

AND

WORK THE SLEEVE.

That's right...work the sleeve! And those three pounds can be the time of the month, excess Fluid, who knows. So next week be prepared for a nice loss, that has been my experience. It's gonna work!!!!

Yeah, you are right in that notorious "stall" time that a lot of people have. Just do what you can with exercise, track your food and follow your plan. :)

I do 2 days of Water aerobics and I just added 2 days of Zumba. Also trying to catch the treadmill and circuit weights at the gym when I can. If you have concerns where to start, I highly recommend water aerobics. It is a pleasure and I have not had one day where I have not felt like going. Once you get going with that, you will feel better about adding other forms of exercise.

Weight gain is caused by high Protein food and lack or exercise. Exercise and proper diet are very important to lose weight and improve fitness. Avoid all high protein food like meats, nuts, grains, cheese, fast foods, fried and dairy products. Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, yogurt, drink green tea, fruit juices and plenty of Water. Go for walking, running, cycling, practice push ups, bench press and chair squat. It improve mood, burns fat,make strong bones and muscles, boost energy, improve heart functions and improve fitness.

I'm a slow looser and is fine with me as I am only 6 lbs to my goal weight! After the first 4 months I have been averaging a weight loss of 3.4 - 4 lbs a month for the last 5 months. Remember it's a marathon not a sprint, you will get there!

        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.

      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
