Are you walking?

Yes I have been walking and I am always on the go 3 kids. I could do more high impact cardio but I hope to start next week.

Maybe it's just taking some time for your body to catch up with your loss. I think you'll do o.k.. you may be losing inches. I'm still on the pre-op Liquid Protein which sucks by the way, but I have discovered that the scale is not my friend! Stay off the scale for a day or two and check your measurements. Hope that helps.

Are you eating at regular intervals? I was told today that it's really important to spread it out and get in all the Protein and 64 oz of Fluid each day. Are you meeting the eating requirements provided by your nutritionist?

Sometimes are bodies rebel for a while but, stick with the plan and the scale will start moving again.

I feel ya. I am 3 weeks post and have only lost 1 pound this week. I knew the weightloss would slow down down, but geez! I get my Protein in and my Water and I walk 1 to 1 1/2 miles 5 days a week. It's frustrating, but I am still working at it. :-)

I'm going through the same thing...and I exercise and follow all of the guide lines. I'm praying the weight loss picks up a gain soon. I did lose 3 lbs this week after 2 weeks of nothing. I am 5 weeks out. It is sooooo very important to me that I not fail at this. Everyone keeps saying hang in there so that's what I'm doing. I have zumba on Xbox connect so I'll start that more frequently this week. It seems to be more intense than the walking. I'm at about 2 1/2 miles...at a nice brisk pace. Stationary bike when its too cold or rainy outside plus resistance training with these thera-bands. "Lord bless all of us on plateaus and slow weight loss with patience and perseverance! Amen!"

      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.
