I use the metric system


I’m 5’4 female
H/o hypothyroidism & poly cystic ovaries.

I weighed 122 kgs pre op, dropped to 117 after one week of shake and then now dropped to 105, but this loss was over immediate 3 months. Surgery was on August 25, haven’t lost weight since October end. So November - feb no weight loss at all. December was a mess cuz I was out of country but yeah. Idk. I was telling my best friend I feel like I did all this to lose 15 kgs. But I also need to exercise more & eat right .
Anyway it’s a win cuz you don’t gain & also you eat less which is good for over all health.

You work at.. a Cafe... Lol so can't drink Water ? When you said you can't drink Water thought you were a surgeon. Think you can manage it some. How lol on the account of water being s basic need.

I'm totally on the same boat as you i had surgery about 2 and a half months ago and I have stalled for over 4- 5 weeks. I have lost 28 pounds including preop which was less than a week. I do my best to eat 1000-1100 calories a day so my body doesn't go into starvation mode. I haven't been able to incorporate any exercise yet because I go to school full time and work full time (I know excuses are excuses but I honestly have no time). I talked to my nutritionist and she said I should keep my carbs below 50 grams/day and try including healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, Salad Dressing etc. I lost 3-4 pounds the first week I did that, but I'm back on a stall now. It's super frustrating as I feel I'm the only one who's going through this and had surgery to loose less than 30 pounds.

So no you're not alone :)

      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.
