Don't be so hard on your self. On the pre-op surgery I lost 15 pounds,and I think 11 pounds after surgery. I hear a lot of people losing 30pounds,and more on pre-op. Other losing 30pounds & more in only 2 weeks of diet. I think the less I lose in a way the better cuz my skin won't sag all that fast until I can offord some plastic surgery. So far I been losing 1-2 pounds per day.

Everyone gets to a point that they slow down on weight lost from what I been reading,and then bam they lose weight again.

Ok...the problem with going to the gym and weight loss is your building muscle as well as loosing inches by going to the gym! I have been so discouraged lately but I've been going to the gym 5 days a week and last week I dropped from 188 to 168 but guess what I'm back at 180 and can only chalk it up to the muscle thing!

I think so to because I see weight loss in my clothes but not on the scale. Maybe I should lay off the gym :P

I was having a stall (5weeks out) and my surgeon told me to make sure I was only eating solid Protein. I had become too dependent on soft foods like yogurt and refried Beans. And was going to the gym everyday.

Anyway, I followed his advice and lost five pounds this week. I can only eat 1 or 2 oz of solid Proteins. I was eating 3 or more oz of the soft foods.

Hope you start losing again soon!!

Our program starts us out on Protein shakes. My surgeon only wants us on them so that we can keep up our Protein during the first few stages. After that, he wants us to eat our meals. Three meals, no Snacks. I had kept eating yogurt and Beans and drinking the shakes so I stalled out my weight loss. Now I eat eggs, cheese, moist chicken, tuna, salmon, turkey- things that I chew up but fill my pouch. He said the pouch needs to feel full.

Having said that, everyone should follow their own surgeon's plan. One thing I noticed is that all the surgeons have different ideas of what works.

      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.
