Recommended Posts

Ok I had my surgery May 2014 I've lost 100#'s but haven't lost nothing in 2 months! I'm still eating right no soda, no bread, no fried foods, only egg whites, grilled chicken and grilled chicken salad any suggestions I'm thinking of doing all liquids for a couple days a week or a week with all liquids any other suggestions

Are you eating enough? It sounds like you might actually be eating too little. What about exercise?

I hear you on the stall. I am down 107 pounds and just cannot get any lower. I've been up and down 2-3 pounds for the last 6 weeks. SO frustrating!

How much more do you need to lose?

Hello. I had my 6mth apt yesterday. I complained to my doc about a 6 week stall I had right after xmas. She explained that its just my body adjusting to a new norm with my metabolism. I eat approximately 800-950 calories a day. I eat pretty much the same variety of food and I exercise just about the same way or burn the same calories all the time. My body is saying...oh I can live with this, lets stay here. Eating a few more calories, trying to eat a different variety of food and doing a different type of exercise for a a few days and then go back to my norm might be enough to get the ball rolling again. Or my body could just be holding on because its afraid I am never going to stop eating such low calories so its storing every pound it can. She said that with some people nothing can be done to break it they just have to wait it out. A stall can last from a week to 2 or 3 mths depending on your metabolism, your normal calories in and out and how close you are weight wise to your set weight. Hang in there! Good luck!

I hear you guys too, @iamblessed1225 and @AvaFern - ! I was sleeved April 29 2014 and have lost 110 pounds and cannot get below this current weight of 177. I fluctuate a pound or 1.5 either side of that, but have been stuck there for around 8 weeks. Driving me nuts and making it hard to keep to my plan when I see no weight-loss results. Yes, I take measurements and Celebrate other goals like those on a run or the gym, but I really want to get to goal, and that's still 32 lbs away. Sigh. I eat around 750-800 calories a day, and no starchy carbs at all.

A couple days on liquids might shock the system into letting go again, but then be sure you go up again and keep getting enough Protein and calories meanwhile. Until then, know that you're not alone, and you're in good company here!

Let us know how it goes, okay? Good luck!

      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
