Stall stall stall please end. I know calories are not our main concern but about how many calories are you all getting a day. I was around 6-700 but since I went back to work I've been close to 1000. That shouldn't be too much but feels like it is.

I think it maybe over..the stall I mean. Down this morning 5 lbs...but my scale is up and down. Saw my Nut and Dr. yesterday. He was great, said I look good. She, the NUT was a Debbie Downer! I told her my goal and she said I would not reach it. Well, thank you Miss Positive Pants. She said to expect the average of 60% of excess weight and that a lot if people are still very over weight even after WLS. I think she is wrong...I hope she is wrong!

I had my one month follow-up yesterday.... which was actually my 25 day follow up. And, miraculously, my stall eased up enough for me to log in a 5 pound loss since my 2 week visit. That makes my total since surgery 20 lbs. And, since August when I started planning for surgery, I am down 47! New Christmas Carroll: "All I Want for Christmas is a THREE Pound Loss!" - (To make the total 50!)

Anyway, I can start with solid foods today. We had our company holiday pot luck and I was afraid to trying anything so I simply ate the mini-quiche I made and a half of slice of cranberry sauce. I was fine and didn't feel "odd" not being a piglet like everyone else! Boy, you sure do notice other people's eating habits, styles and approaches when you are restricted!

I am super frustrated. Not only is my stall 2.5 weeks, but I gained 2 pounds! I was super strict during the holidays and always brought my own food. I was looking forward to joining tge gym, but ended up twisting my knee. I can hardly walk Arghhhh!

      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.
