Heading towards week 3-looking to NOT stall

I know that stalls are inevitable, but I am so happy right now I do not want to stall yet. Tomorrow is the start of my 3rd week and I want to prevent a stall if that is possible. I have monthly goals and I know that the sleeve is just a "tool" and not the answer. I will continue to measure all my food out. Weigh myself in the morining, and make sure that my fitbit says 10,000 steps.

On wednesday I should get cleared for exercise. I know where I failed in the past (life before sleeve) I wont let that happen again. My doctor gave my 6 colored pictures of my insides (gall bladder, stomach before and after and all the mounds of belly fat!) those pictures are my motivator. It has been such a long time since I felt this good and I am only just begining my journey! :D

Many people stall but not all. I haven't stalled yet at 8 weeks. I have no clue why some do and some don't. However, I only lose 2 lbs a week. Slow and steady.

Wish I had pix like that, an excellent motivator.

I stalled weeks 4-5 for no reason - I was following the plan, not cheating... it just happens! But the last few weeks its coming off again. Don't get down if you do stall - just keep working the program.

I am sure I will stall. I just hope it is later. I am a slow loser which I am cool with. I don't drop huge numbers but I expected that. As long as I am dropping something.

I am 2.5 months out and I haven't stalled yet. Like NMJG, I am losing slow and steady but I always have a loss at the end of the week. It might be 4lbs , it might be 1 but I haven't stopped losing. There is no point obsessing, especially if it hasn't even happened. :)

      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
