What has your surgeon said ? Are you drinking enough Fluid?

Weight loss slowed after going onto solids. Now coming off slowly. I am eating 60-90 G Protein, 20 or less of sugar. Can only get in 800 to 1000 calories. I was sleeved on 7/10/17 and am only down 23 pounds. Most of it came off in the first couple weeks.

Swelling! Water weight! PLUS you had your period?! It happens. Don't stress out. If you're doing everything right, it should settle~

You are likely losing inches even if the scale isn't moving which was a big thing for me. There were periods when the scale didn't move for weeks but I went down a whole size or two. If you stick with it and follow your plan it will happen. Make sure you are getting as close to your Protein goal as possible and really hit the fluids.

I have noticed the same thing.
The scale isn't budging but my body looks different. My shirts look too big now and my pants are literally falling off. I have to constantly pull them up at work. I fear the day I am not quick enough while walking to my desk and I end up standing there in my drawers.

      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.
