Hello BP friends,

I've been more of a lurker than poster lately, seems there aren't enough hours in the day. But I nees your help!

I've hit a serious stall. Not for a few weeks - since before Christmas. I had my surgery 9/15 and have lost 55 pounds which I'm thrilled with. But seems like since mid December my body has slammed the breaks.

Any thoughts? I get my protein/water in and eat 900-1000 calories a day.

TIA!!!

Hi Rolosmom.

I was just going to post the exact issue. Here are my stats:

SW 221 on 9/16/16

CW 180

So 41 pounds in 4 months, great! But, I literally only lost 2 pounds in the past 5 weeks. I feel so anxious about this.

I am averaging 1000/cal a day and I workout with a trainer 3 days week. The other days I use the treadmill and starting to actually run. All I can do is keep in keeping on...but this is frustrating and scary that it's not going to happen for me.

How frustrating that must be! Are you still measuring your food and tracking your macros? Perhaps your carbs and/or sugar intake is more than you realize (I know this could easily happen to me). Do you do any strength training?

Yes, everything goes into MFP. I am strength training with my husband (Navy). And I'm pretty sure I'm getting smaller. But the scale just will not move!

I think you might need to increase your calories. Try it for a few days and see if the scale moves. Are you losing inches?

I don't measure (i know, bad me) but my clothes get looser and looser so I'm pretty sure I am. I'll break out the tape measure - I have one from sewing that will do just fine.

Just so frustrating!!!

Thanks for your responses ????

        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
