Is anyone stalling again? I'm stalling at 167 pounds I've lost 48.4 pounds so far. I had my surgery on August 4th, I've stalled once in the 3 week stall, but I really want to lose 33 more pounds maximum!! Idk if I could do it in 5 months! Is it the way I'm eating? I eat everything but in small amounts some days healthy some days not. I still eat carbs, but still get my Protein in. I don't track calories but I have not gained any weight, and some days I eat nothing and other days I eat a pretty good amount.

So is anyone else stalling? And do you think it's possible to lose 33 more pounds in 5 months?

I understand your frustration. My pouch was in August 21, 2015, I was stalled for 6 wks

Scared me. I thought I had stretched my stomach. My doc had me do all shakes for 24 hrs. Then liquids for one day (chicken broth, scrabble eggs and Jello for that one day. Then shake ( at least a total of 90 grams of protein). Five pounds the first weeks

Now doing 5 small meals, no more than 1500 calories. After that first week, now back to 2 -4 lbs a week again

Water. Water water

Blessings and Good luck

I am at the same weight for 3 weeks, not one pound more. I haven't gone to the gym and have been eating a little bad so its totally my fault. We have to kick it up people and start exercising more!!!!! :-)[/quote

I was sleeved on August 21st 2015. Highest weight 349 current weight 260. I lost 89 pounds so far and I am very happy about it. My goal weight is 170. My question for the group is what are you guys eating now approaching 5 months post op. This is my day:

Breakfast:Premier Protein Shake

Lunch:2oz Fish/Chicken/Turkey Meatball with 1 ounces of vegetables

Dinner:Premier Protein shake

Snack:2oz Chicken/Tuna salad with 2 whole wheat crackers

Fluids: 67.6 ounces of Water (4-16.9oz water bottles from costco

Exercise: 60 min cardio 3-4X a week depending on the week

I haven't started strength training yet. Thinking about hiring a personal trainer when I hit around 230 pounds. Then the trainer can help me get to my 170 goal plus tone

we are almost exactly the same! I had surgery on August 27,2015--started at 348 and got down to 256 (although NYE put me back at 261) :( EXCEPT I haven't done too much exercise other than walking a couple times a week. Keep up the good work and congrats on all the weight loss!

Thanks UalreadyKnow! I sometimes feel as though I'm eating to many calories. Do you mind sharing What a typical day for you looks like?

Thanks UalreadyKnow! I sometimes feel as though I'm eating to many calories. Do you mind sharing What a typical day for you looks like?

np! I feel the same way sometimes!

Breakfast--6oz coffee with Protein Powder

Lunch--star creations (any flavor) and 3-4 Brussels sprouts in garlic butter

Snack-- pepperoni chips (1serving)

Dinner--any lean meat I make and about 1/2cup or less of veggies

Snack--another coffee with Protein powder or a Quest bar

Don't know if I'm taking the right approach, as my NUT is having chemo and has no replacement yet but I'm kinda doing a sort of Atkins/south beach diet thing. Bad part is... I beat myself up if I do "fall off track" and have some no-no carb, and I HATE that feeling of failure.

        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.

      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
