I was sleeved in June and have lost 40. These last two months have really slowed down. One thing I don't get all my Water. Does anyone know why drinking all our water helps u lose weight? Does it have to do with flushing out retention? If anyone knows how to help their water intake let me know, I am struggling to get in 32 oz.

I drink 16.9 watr bottles. So when I do my walk or bike ride I drink one. Then I have another when I take my Vitamins. Then my 3rd is almost always a crystal light. I babysit my 4th all afternoon and have a 5th for bed. 5 bottles @ 16.9= 84.5

What I try to remind myself that any normal person who ate less than evem 1500 calories and then excercised atleast 5 days a week would lose and maintain a healthy weight. And we CUT OUT OUR STOMACHES!! Easy to forget the odds are in our favor for a change! One day at a time works here too, patience sucks!

I agree it's very hard to be patient when we are losing so slowly or in long stalls it doesn't seem fair when so many others are losing incredible amounts so quickly.

If it helps my surgeon saw me yesterday and said my loss to date is slower than he would like but not at the point where he is concerned and has suggested I increase my exercise and really work on good choices. Its a little annoying as I'm eating 800 cals per day most days so not sure how much healthier I can be without starving myself! Its not like I'm eating too much here.

I was sleeved April 4th and am down 69 lbs. like others have said it's frustrating when u read how some have lost that within two months out.... Not six.

I keep cal at or below 800 Protein 80-100 daily( most days... Never below70)

Do minimal toning exercises (5 lb weights) and wall push-ups ( knees still too painful for floor exercises)

I've been stalled now for almost a month. Even gain a lb then lose that lb to gain and lose it again.

Very frustrating. But I'm going to keep pushing forward and not give up. I'm thankful for the loss I have had and will be stepping up my efforts to be sure I don't fall back into old habits( a daily struggle)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
