Thank you. I'm just upset because this has been a long standing issue when I tried to lose weight before surgery. I would get close to onderland and then start regaining weight. I'm upset that I've had over half my stomach removed and still can't get under 200.

Hang in there this is the time you need to be strong because the sleeve WILL get you into onederland. Just try not to stress about it. This is very different from anything you have tried before. If you stick to the plan and keep moving the weight will eventually start to move again. I know because the same is happening to me but I look at my husband who was done at the same time as I was and he is already at goal. Frustrating but a great motivator to me to show me it does work just faster for some.

Hang in there. Probably time to switch something up. It slows down for everyone at a certain point, but if you keep your body guessing you can get it going again.

I was stalled at 266 for about 2 months; then all of a sudden I dropped to 254. Not sure what I did differently! LOL Watching my intake, excersizing and trying to do everything right. So close to the 100 lb mark just can't seem to get there. Still a long way to go but happy I've gotten as far as I have. :D

      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
