It's hard to say without you posting what you are eating. What does an honest typical day look like? OR even the not typical days? What is your protein/fat/carb intake? Calorie intake? You haven't given enough information for us to offer suggestions.

Check out "Don't sweat the stall stuff"

lots of helpful answers. I had my sleeve in Feb. and have only lost 50lbs seems slow compared to many others, but physical limitations limit the kind of exercise I can do, but I have noticed I have more endurance since the weight loss.

I was sleeved on 2/3 and have lost 50. Some of us are just slower. I do admit I could exercise more, but it doesn't seem to matter when I do.

I was sleeved January 22nd and I'm 58lbs down. It was more difficult for me to get a grip on controlling my head hunger at first. Now it's getting easier everyday and I'm shrinking. I'm 178 the last three weeks. :)

I'd say "slow" is relative, you're losing about 10 lbs./month, that's 120 lbs/year! We knew this wasn't a magic pill when we got into it, right? Have some patience, stay on your program and work with your sleeve and let it help you get to your goal. Sounds like you're doing the right things.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
