I feel like where we started was pretty close.

Any advice?

What did your diet look like and what exercise did you do?

I'm in week 4 but at a huge stall but so curious to see how people achieved their goal so quickly.

Would love to knoww :)

@sleevedshereen to be honest, I don't weigh any thing..... I do eat alot of salads and try to have a little piece of chicken or chicken salad with it since I dont eat beef or pork. (It's been 11yrs)
My go to Snacks are cashews, apples with Peanut Butter, fruit or the quinoa/flaxseed tortilla chips.< br>Sometimes I don't eat a meal for dinner or lunch. I just have cashews, or an apple or something...As for exercise I walk at least 4 days a week for 30 mins... I dontgo to the gym consistently and I just started my Tae Bo last night lol..

Thanks for the info! How soon did you start eating salads and what dressing do you usually use?

Salads was until I was 6 weeks out... I use the dressing from Olive Garden... They sell it at Sams... I use less than a cap full... If I'm out and I get a salad I use the "fork method" I dip my fork in the dressing first then I put salad on my fork...
I'm sure you will get past this stall, just be patient and don't be hard on yourself. Everyone's body is different.

Congrats to you!! The quick weight loss is scary and amazing, I'm 2 months POSTOP and I've lost 30+[emoji41] total. I got on scale this morning and when I saw I was 11lbs from onderland I almost cried[emoji7] I'm not far from my GW so I'm praying my weight loss slows down when I enter onderland[emoji6][emoji6]

You are doing great! 145lbs gets you to a "normal" bmi. I bet you'll be able to get there if you want.

That's what I'm doing. 180 is my initial goal, and if I make it there, I have 155 as my normal-BMI stretch goal.

Congrats!

I don't necessarily "skip" meals, I just may have fruit or cheese and chips or something like that. I listen to my stomach a d only eat when I'm hungry

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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
