I have stayed the same weight now for idk how long. It's getting old. I have tried my hardest to "embarrass the stall". I have been on a stall more then not! I'm even doing 48 hrs rest and nothing.... I'm afraid I lost all I'm going to lose. Has anyone stopped at 64 lbs?

I'm only 64 lbs down in 7 months. It's very disappointing to alter your body and still be fat!

that's more than 9 pounds a month! How much more do you have to go?

It sounds like you are doing great.

Are you tracking your food?

What are you eating? Are you getting in all of your Protein and fluids?

Are you avoiding starches, added sugars , and fried foods?

Are you taking your Vitamins and supplements?

Are you exercising?

Have you talked to your NUT lately about your concerns?

Without more information it is hard to offer suggestions.

If you've lost 64 and you have 54 more to go, then you need to lose roughly the same about that I did. At 7 months, I wasn't down more than 64 pounds either. It's a slow process and while stalls are annoying, you do eventually get through them. I got stuck between 165-170 for almost two months, which was almost exactly where you are, around the 65-70 pounds lost range. I added an extra hour at the gym, I really paid attention to what I ate, and eventually I dropped to goal weight. It took 18 months to lose 108 pounds of which the last 4 pounds took almost 4 months. That works out to 6 pounds a month. The sleeve isn't a magic miracle working trick- it still takes time, work, and patience. Time passes no matter what you do, so a year from now you could be at goal or a year from now you could have given up on goal and still be fat. In the end, it's entirely up to you and your actions. You can do it! :)

        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
