You'll definitely need clothes before all the weight is gone. :)

The Week 3 stall is legendary. Just stick with the program and it will pass.

You will need clothes during your weight loss or you will look like a clean but homeless person. Many shop at thrift or consignment stores or hit the sales for low price, interim options.

I stalled at 2 weeks out for about 10 days. Same deal, my body changed a lot during that time. Same deal with my latest stall of 5 weeks starting at 2.5mos post op. Hang in there!

7 weeks out and only lost 1 lb. in 2 weeks.28 all together.

That is an average of 4 pounds per week. Sounds pretty awesome! Keep it in perspective - you're doing pretty good. There'll be slow times, stalls, and then suddenly... a big drop or a slow, steady downward trend. Follow your program as close as possible and it'll continue. One day soon you'll be where you want to be. Enjoy the journey! :-)

I didn't want to shop for clothes, either, but it was inevitable for me...couldn't wear size 22/24 on a size 12 body...my pants would fall off. I just wear a lot of leggings and stuff that will fit over a long time..it's freezing here in Wisconsin, so I wear a lot of fleece...not sexy, but warm. Lol. In spring I'll have to shop for summer clothes...it gets expensive.

Go to local thrift stores for clothes. They are cheap and sometimes you get really lucky. I got a jacket that is reversible for about $5.

It does get expensive. After Christmas there will be lots of clearance sales as stores start bringing in spring clothes. Sometimes the clearance prices are as cheap as or cheaper than thrift stores. :-)

That's my plan. I need pants badly. My size 14s can be pulled off without unbuttoning. Lol. I told my hubby my plan is to buy 3 pairs after the holidays when sales are good.

At our local goodwill they have 50% off a certain color tag each week that the clothes are marked with. I am glad I bought lots of sizes ahead of time while they were 50% off! Most of them are to big now, but they sure helped while I was loosing.

So, a long stall is normal? I'm almost two months out and feel like I haven't lost anything this whole month. I may have even gained a pound or two. I feel like I'm doing everything wrong. I am eating but not to much, but I can't stomach Protein shakes so I'm lacking there and have been so busy with work and the holidays that I haven't exercised. Maybe I'm failing at this.

      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
