Could be in a plateau for loss, it may help to think of prior surgery weight losses added to now and stalling loss for a bit. Plateau;

You must stick to the very low amounts you still use for food in order to maintane the smallness of your stomach, don't let a stall or plateau fool you in to being disinterested in what your already doing. Stick hard and close to your special dietary needs and schedule, always do what the doctors say. Your stomach is now shrunk to an unusaul smallness which will in months or year or more go back to fitting larger amounts, it is essential to use this smallness and lack of appetite now and prolong this period of diet newness best for as long as you can.

It's just normal body fluctuations. Don't worry about it. Throughout this whole process, you're going to stall and see fluctuations. You may as well get used to it.

As long as you're getting your Protein and fluids in, minimizing carbs from bread, Pasta, etc.. and moving a little, you will see the weight come off. Just bear with the daily fluctuations.

      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.
