OK..first....you look absolutely amazing! Congratulations on the progress you have so far.

Stalls happen and they suck. I always try something different and it may or may not work:-) (exercise, more Protein, less carbs) Your body needs time to adjust to the new way of eating and stalls are a "hold" time to do just that. Try to find other non scale victories like this awesome pic to keep you motivated through it. I am the queen of stalls. I had surgery on 2/6/2017 and lost my first 30 super quick. Since then I've lost 17 more pounds but I went from a size 18-20 down to a 12.

Check out my weight chart. I am not building any cliffs of weight loss but a slow steady hill that I am descending.

Slow and steady has also given my skin a chance to adjust to my weight loss as well.

Take care.

Thanks so much for the advice and encouragement.....I should try to take in more Protein because I know I only get in about half of what I need since I stopped drinking the shakes post op...they just taste so bad now.

Congratulations-You look great! I keep stalking also and the dr. told me that since I don't have 100's of lbs to lose- my loss will be slow. I feel like the inches are coming off b/c I'm working out.
Have you tried other shakes? Premier, jay robb? Nugo slim bars are also great for Protein and Fiber. Do you go to local support groups? We just had a meeting at the one I go to and they targeted food choices.
Hang in there!

Wow! You look AMAZING! Can we trade? [emoji5] Write down what you are eating for two weeks and then schedule to meet with your Nutritionist for an evaluation. Also, you may want to ramp up your work out routine and get a trainer. #BeastMode

Congratulations on the weight you have already lost! Have patience with yourself, the smaller you get the slower the loss it seems but it will come. You look stunning!

You look great. I was sleeved April 25th 2017. I'm down 54lbs since surgery. I haven't had any stalls. But my best friend that was sleeved has. Our diets are totally different. I Don't eat any bread, Pasta or rice. But she does from time tone. I was told not to for 6months. She said she wasn't told that. I also burn way more calories than I eat and she doesn't.. so watch what you eat. Oh and I also started craving and eating more vegetables. It's been helping with my bowels..17960.jpeg

      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
