I am only 6 months out from my surgery and I am worried I won't lose anymore! I lost 96 lb so far... I am 180 right now.... & I have not worked out in a few weeks .... Been different schedule with work and my diet is spot on but I definitely don't see 5he scale drop like it used to .... Not as fast. Yes.... I do hope this is a problem for me one day. Because being scared I will lose only enough to 180lbs or 6months out from surgery and then stop losing scares me.

How much are you losing a week? Are you tracking your calories?

Sounds familiar, although I can admit I don't work out like I should. I've thought about my weight too wondering when my set point will hit. I'm one year out, started at 248 and last Saturday I was 121 and I am 5'5. I don't know where my calories should be to maintain.

What surgery did you have?

It took me a year to get from 240 to 118. After the first 4-5 months I only lost about 2 pounds per week. After about 7 months only 1 pound a week. At some point I stopped thinking about it that much and it just kept coming off. It's amazing how 1 steady pound adds up.

lauraellen80 she probably picked 115lbs at 5'2" because if you get any smaller you won't be able to buy any clothes that fit. I say that because that's where I am at. I wear a 0P.

I do workout/run because I like the health benefits. I do have carbs now and I don't consider that a cheat. Cookies, ice cream, cake, waffles etc are cheat days in my book and usually just on the weekends. It is hard to find the happy medium as we all have worked so hard to get here that gaining it back is a big fear.

      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
