Recommended Posts

@Jodygirl1982 You are doing awesome!

I was sleeved 12/12/16. I have hit my big stall too.. I have been bouncing between the same 1-3 pounds for the last few weeks and it is sooooo frustrating. I know its part of the process its just hard when the scale just stops moving.... makes me scared I might stop losing anymore even though I know that is just my mind messing with me.

I am only down about 43 pounds since the day of surgery, but down 63 total since I started the pre-op diet 2 weeks before. Just taking it a day at a time and trying to up my Water intake and my exercise!

12-27-26 was my surgery date. Surgery day 356. Currently 290. I'm on a stall for the last few weeks as well. Just patiently waiting. ....I know it's going to start up again, but the wait can be tough. Plus side, I feel like I'm still shrinking :)

I know sometimes even though the scales are not moving I'm losing inches. I'm wearing clothes that I haven't wore in quite a while and some for the very first time. Of course I definitely want the scales to move down. I haven't really been exercising much but I'm really to kick that into gear. Good luck and God Bless all on their journey to good health.

I had surgery on 12/21/16. My starting weight was 298 and I am currently 235, 63 lbs down. I believe I am starting a stall now, as I've been 235 the last week, but I feel great! I rode a bike for the first time in 3 years and I've started playing (extreme) tennis.

Wow, you look great. I was sleeved 12/9 And I'm only down 50 pounds. I keep hitting stalls [emoji20]





I'm in the same boat. Sleeved 12/19 and only down 40 lbs. I was at 367 before dieting for almost a year pre-op, surgery at 330 and 290 as of this morning. I guess as long as I'm not gaining, it will all work out in the end if I trust the process.

I was feeling the same about my scales lol. But I've noticed a pattern when I'm having trouble with my bowels moving my weight stalks. Soon as my bowels get back to moving the weight start making falling back off. Just hang in there we can do 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.
