Not losing, what am I doing wrong?



Recommended Posts

stay the course.......continue what you are doing and it will happen......



whether you like it or not, the first month or two or (three) if you are newly banded or any WLS... you are healing...you are swollen, your not hungry and then you get hungry, trust me the hunger will return...(head hunger is real btw)



NOW is the time to get your mind into the game...if you are struggling now, what will you do when the scale/weight loss does slow down for real.......this is where you need to measure your (true and actual weight loss in inches aka clothes getting too big or you need to buy smaller ones...that is a GREAT feeling)..



ps: not eating/starving yourself doesnt work..diets dont work...so dont diet...eating good food in your band allotted amounts and beginning some sort of exercise/movement does work.., promise

And there will be times when the scale does not move! When it doesn't for an extended time, it may be time re-evaluate your eating habits. I've noticed that extended stalls (more than a few months) are often a signal that I may need a small fill to get me back into the game.

      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.
