Use my fitnesspal to record what u eat. Every bit of it. Stick to what u were told to lose the weight. R u taking enough Protein, how many calories is your target. Maybe u should try eating more calories if u r doing strenuous exercises. I read on this site that when people do increase calories by about 200 calories per day while they r doing strenuous exercise, they start to lose the weight after a stall. Why about seeking out a nutritionist with Bariatric Eating experience.

I am kinda in the same boat. I have not lost anything since October either. I am also a very slow loser and have been trying to focus on the inches. Those has stalled as well. I know I can eat more than I used to be able to eat and that is a concern for me. I exercise 3-4 times a week in a pool because of my fibromyalgia. Anyone else struggling to lose weight?

Went to a support group last week...someone who had surgery in October has lost 70 pounds; meanwhile, I had surgery in June and still weigh what I weighed on Labor Day. Only lost 30 since surgery, 49 overall. Not complaining, but I know why I'm not losing...I can (and do) eat anything and everything. Can't seem to quiet the cravings...

I had sleeve surgery in June of 2012. I lost about 90 pounds within the first 5 months or so and then nothing since. I have been stalled out over a year now and am very depressed about it. I've even gained a few pounds! I know exactly why I'm stalled out, and that is the worst part. I'm eating junk and not exercising. I don't watch what I eat at all anymore and as much as I'm concerned about It, I can't seem to stay focused and motivated to do the right things. When I buy groceries, I look for low carb high Protein foods and that's what I buy... and then a box of Little Debbies just in case. Well, I end up eating the Little Debbie's in a day or two and never touch the food I purchased that's good for me. In fact, I mostly just eat out. I don't know how to kick the cravings I have for carbs... On a positive note, however, I did switch to putting Splenda in my coffee instead of sugar... that was a miracle for me because I've never liked it that way. Anybody got any suggestions for motivation or kicking the cravings? I have got another 100 pounds to lose and time is running out on me... :( Help?

        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
