I have been stuck at 202 for a month. I just want to see that scale say 199. So frustrating!

This going to sound quaint, but as long as you are following your program, the scale while move in the right direction. That said, if you aren't already, drink as much Water as you can stand...I mean like, so much the sight of another clear liquid will make you scream or feel like you are drowning. Yes, that much. It is that important to the whole weight / fat loss process and get as much rest as you can. Follow your program and everything will be fine.

Thanks for the response. I do need to be more strict on the diet and increase the Water. I think stress has a lot to do with it. I need to refocus!

I am at 203 and while I haven't been stuck here (hope I didn't just jinx myself :unsure: ) I can understand the frustration. Onderland is so close and yet can seem so far away. I have faith that we will both get there real soon!

Whenever I get, as you say "stuck". Imprefer to think of it as my new normal (which is lower than my previously higher normal). Which I know is just my body stopping to take a breath and rest. Weight loss is stress on our system. Our body wants to feel stabalized. However when I'm ready to push forward and resume weightloss I do something different. Lower caloric intake, increase exercise, Water, take a colonic cleanse tea... Something quite extreme. Like for instance... I'm still 20 days pre op and have been on 1200 cal diet. Hit a plateue stuck at 218 for a week. Have been on 800 cals for last two days... Now finally down to 216.

Helps jump start a weight loss stall. Recommended by many VSG veterans.

Good luck !

I was stalled at 203 for a bit as well. Hang in there, follow the plan, and you'll get past it.

I don't mind the stalls. I just look for the other changes, they are there. I am wearing a smaller pant now at 43 years old than I did in high school.

        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.

      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
