Have lost only 3 lbs since the first of August. Weight is VERY SLOW to come off now. I have gone back to one and sometimes two shakes per day to try and restart the weight loss. I developed a flare up of plantar fasciitis two days ago and my daily walks are very painful. I need to rest the foot but I am afraid to ease up on the walking for fear of slowing down the weight loss even more.

Jb1176 I hope you feel better, and the best thing would be is to rest! Maybe you could try something else for exercise? Maybe yoga?

7 pounds per month sounds pretty good!

I have been doing well and have gotten under the two's but have begun to slow down. This is where I can now admit that the exercise portion of this journey has to now come into play. I have begun in just this week so that I can keep my momentum going and have been quite happy as to what I have been able to accomplish. A few months ago you couldn't pay me to do anything that included bending, running, walking or breathing :lol:. I have a stationary bike at home and have been able to ride without passing out, I have incorporated some weight lifting and will continue to incorporate some other fitness activities.

Continue the journey all.

Hello all and Happy Surgiversary. I have made it down to 189 without gaining weight. That is good but I have been stalling ..that would be because I have not been as Not that I have lied but have not told everything. to make an appointment with the psychologist as food has been the culprit of weight gain when making healthy choices. I will keep you all informed of this outcome.

Has anyone looked in to getting a waist trainer?? I'm wondering if it would be too much pressure on our stomach? Any thoughts???

Thought about it as well, but have no comment on it just yet.

My weightloss slowed down, and my Dr put me on a reset of the preop diet again. So 4 shakes and Water or broth, or SF popsicles, or SF Jello. for 5 days. I did it!! It brought back the tight restriction. And I lost 6 pounds. But I am down a total of 76 pounds. I wish it was more, like everybody else.

      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.
