Someone please help! Weight stall! (Again)



Recommended Posts

Hey guys! I need some advice! I was sleeved on May 13th, 2014 and I'm a little over 2 months out. I began at 330pounds and I have lost almost 40 pounds. I'm like super stressed. My weight keeps going back and forth in between 289 to 291 and it's driving me crazy. I really want to lose 110pounds in 9 months (by June for a wedding that I'm in).... I literally cried today because this is so hard for me. I work out for an hour on Mon, Tues, We'd, Thurs---- mostly cardio.... But I'm not sure it's enough.... Does anyone have any suggestions on a variety of foods for Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Snacks? And exercise plans also? I'm so burned out from eating the same stuff over and over! PLEASE HELP !

Hi Jazzy I have not had my surgery yet but I've read many post about this subject . The common response is to make sure you're getting enough Protein. Many have stalls-but they seem to get over the hurdle within a few weeks. Please don't stress yourself out. 40lbs is great! You are averaging 20lb a month. Have you ever lost that much weight before?

Good luck, stay on program it will happen. Hopefully those who have experienced stalls will offer suggestions

Hi I just had my sleeve on Wednesday and taking the Protein Shakes and drinking lots of Fluid. Not sure how much I have lost but maybe you are putting in more calories than normal. Everything will pay off just look into foods that you can eat but of course Portion Control Is the key. As for me I am just in the liquid diet right now and been feeling full with only the Protein shakes, and chicken Soup that my mom has been making me. Good luck!! And you should be happy with what you have lost!!

        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
