How big were you at your highest if you don't mind my asking. My dr says I'm loosing too slow and I'm kinda stuck. I'm a little over 4 months out and have lost about 65 pounds. I've been fluctuating. I've also been working out and eating right. I'm just kind o depressed right now.

How big were you at your highest if you don't mind my asking. My dr says I'm loosing too slow and I'm kinda stuck. I'm a little over 4 months out and have lost about 65 pounds. I've been fluctuating. I've also been working out and eating right. I'm just kind o depressed right now.

That pic was 2 and 1/2 yrs ago. I was about 274. I'm 5 1/2 months out from my pre surgical weight of 237. Now I'm at 83# down. I'm currently 154. 26 lbs to go if I want my original goal of 130. But I think I'll be good at 140 or between the two.

I stall and working my butt off at the gym breaks the stall. I will hop on the treadmill for at least half an hour between 4.2 and 4.5 mph. I'll do weights there if I have time. Sometimes I do Mari Windsors Buns and thighs Pilates!!!!! love Pilates.

I had a month stall where I went up and down a pound that month. I think the stalls are just allowing our bodies to bounce back and recover from the weight loss. Don't let not losing get to you. I did at first but it is a stress that I didn't need in my life so I let it go. I thought I was a slow loser. I wished I would have recorded the weight lose each month. But I know the first month I lost 20. At 3 months I believe I was 54 down. So I don't think 65 at 4 is too off track from many of us. I hope that helps.

      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.
