I stalled for 2 weeks, added more Protein and calories and viola, lost 6 lbs last week! You can do it!!

Can you give me a few tips on meals? I'm trying to add more calories but I am at a loss of healthy foods.

How far out from surgery? What is your Protein, caloric, Water intake? Are you eating anything you shouldn't be? Are you exercising?

I'm a little over 2 months post-op.

I don't eat much so I know I'm under 1,000 cals. I'm hitting close to 75-100 Protein n yes, I've discovered potato chips ( I wasn't too big about them pre op)

Yes I exercise daily.

My scale isn't moving but I know I'm shrinking be cuz clothes aren't fitting but I want to see the numbers..

I track everything.. every bite of chips.. What are your carb counts.. Carbs should be low, protein high. Drop the chips.. Drop the juice.. too much sugar.. You could also be in a stall, they will happen.. but definitely watch those carbs/sugar.

meSparkle83,

Yep, full commiseration here! There’s not much you can do besides reassure yourself that you’re doing everything right. Are you eating right, drinking enough Water, and exercising? If so, all you can do is be patient. If not…back to the basics!

Good luck, and as long as you’re doing your part, the scale will do its part, eventually.

I weigh daily. I had an almost 3 week stall and it was so frustrating. This week I lost 9 pounds though. No clue how it happened, but it did. Be patient and keep up the hard work. Eventually your body will stop struggling against you and it will fall off.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
