Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Need some help and guidance. Was sleeved Nov 12 2012, to date I've lost 135 lbs. Started at 408, down to 273. My goal is around 208 to 220. Have about 65lbs to go. For the past several months I have not been able to lose anything!!! My weight has fluctuated between 273 to 278. I had plateaus before and seemed to be able to break them. But this stall is really frustrating!! I've been watching what I eat, get my Protein in everyday, and have been workin out during the week. Don't know what to do?? Need some guidance and open suggestions? Thanks John.

What do you call several months?

About 3 months.

The closer you get to an ideal weight the harder your body will fight to hold on to any stores of fat. This I know. But since I have yet to be sleeved, I am not able to advise on how to work past a stall. I read a post this a.m. from a lady who was doing the 5 day pouch test. She was sleeved 2 years ago and had gained some weight back. She was looking to get back on track and had decided to do it. Basically you go back to liquids for two days, then pureed food for two days then soft food on the fifth day. Sort of the condensed version of post op. Might be worth a try?

John

woo hoo

party dance, party dance

135 lbs, down, down, and dirty!!!!

sorry you've been at a stall for a while :angry:

sure you are continueing to eat and drink right, scale just doesn't want to move :(

maybe go on liquids for a week, shake things up

go back to shakes???

change your calorie intake up a bit, eat different variety of food

tummy could be telling you to switch things up - "then i'll let you lose some weight" ;)

good luck guy

kathy

congrats

      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
