Yes, I'm at -90 and holding for 4 weeks now. My research tells me I might be eating to many calories, I usually get 1200 a day to 1500. The internet says I should get 700-1000. Aye caramba! It also says to eat low fat, which may be outdated informatiom, since everyone's on the Keto band wagon. One website said not to be scared to eat "good fat." I'm also not walking enough, working out enough with weights, and probably not drinking enough Water. Although I do get various types of protien supplements throughout the day, 90 ounces easily.

As instructed I eat 3 times a day, few Snacks, and don't go more than 5 hours without eating. I even eat protien vegtable Soup (wonder cabbage soup) I make myself) So, I'm going to work on these areas. "Alighter me.com has a lot of good answers. I'm also looking into the buckwheat diet...monks and models use it! (the carbs are suppossed to be resistant starch carbs)

Hope that gives you some clues...

Are you sure that is the right address for "ALM.com?" It took me to Go Daddy.

Congratulations on 100 down.

Weight loss can get slower after a year out. Did you get off track or is this a stall?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
