Not even sure how to position this...I am very thankful for my results and better health. Never believed I could be where I am today.

I'm still losing a pound every week or so and am at a point that I don't really want my weight to go any lower. I average 100 grams of protein/day and get plenty of fluids and fill in with complex carbs. Anyone else go through this or feeling the same? Any tips?

To maintain, I would start increasing healthy carbs by 10 g every week to find out where your limit is between maintaining and gaining.

What about increasing healthy fats?

Especially if you are already having carbs.

But way to go!

I eat a moderate amount healthy fats already... should have listed that in my original post. Usually in the form of nuts. Thanks for the tip though.

Hmm. . . .

Might have to just binge watch Netflix and eat pizza for a weekend. That'll stop your weight loss!😄

That's a tough one, Your body **SHOULD** balance out at some point. Have you discussed this with your nutritionist? Curious what they had to say. You could always up your natural sugars, get more fruits in your diet and up that total calorie count per day with some high calorie but healthy options. Are you working out at all? Maybe focus more on muscle growth and less on the fat burning exercises?

Great questions. I went to my support group mtg last night and asked the nutritionist. She is scheduling me for my 1yr RMR follow up since I'm past my goal. That'll tell me how many calories I burn resting and give me a new baseline. I have stopped cardio and ramped up weight training over the past week so that should help too. I haven't been a big fruit eater but the nutritionist suggested the same so I'll hop on that bandwagon. Thanks.

Good luck! Great call getting a new baseline, your basal metabolic rate is weight/age/sex sensitive so it would certainly have lowered after dropping over 150 lbs! You'll want SOME cardio, but more for just warm up than full fat burn, lifting cold can cause damages.

I've become very fond of some strawberries and a banana, sliced up and chilled, so good LOL

Now that strawberries and bananas sounds good!! I'm going to have to try that now.

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

        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
