What was your recommended diet? It seems as though you should be eating more frequently (but I'm pre-surgery still). My NUT said 5-6 very small meals with about 3 hours in between (concentrate on Protein first) and at least 64ozs fluids (non caloric). You might not be able to eat that much ...not sure at 6 weeks post-op.

It certainly doesn't sound like you are eating frequently enough. What is your Protein target?

Are you:

Following your program?

Tracking your food?

Getting in all of your protein every day?

Getting at least 64 oz of Fluid?

Taking your Vitamins and supplements as directed?

Well eating shrimp and walking on Water isn't enough. Lol.

People have kindly answered your request for help with very legitimate questions about your behaviors and tracking. You did not answer. If your idea of tracking is eating shrimps walking and Water then you are in for a wake up call. It takes some focusing on the rules. Keeping track of Protein water calories and carbs and finding the delicate balance that works for you. At 3 weeks or so most of us stall. Then we stall again. Again and again. In spite of all that we melt away little by little. I'm 6 months out and the last couple of weeks I've lost a pound a week. Because I track everything know that in the last month I've lost 11 pounds. 72 pounds since Nov. 88 more to go. One day at a time. One bite at a time.

If your not eating enough cal's you will stay in the stall because your body will think it's starving. Even if you don't feel like eating, eat it will get you moving again.

Our surgery dates were probably very similar. Mine was March 29. I am now getting close to 100 grams of Protein each day and between 800 and 900 cal per day. You did not mention your starting weight. I have lost 42 pounds since I started trying to lose weight in February and I have lost 23 pounds since surgery. Slow and steady. You don't want to feel full. You don't wait until you are hungry to eat. You should probably have a good talk with your surgeon's office or nutritionist.

      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
