Yep. The myth of restriction and/or malabsorption strikes again. :( Sorry you are struggling. As the tool matures, you WILL be able to eat more volume, so you have to really have a good plan on how to fill it up without consuming too many macros or calories to stop your weight loss.

You have to go back to your plan's basics and to what worked for you when you were losing. You should look at weighing and measuring and logging everything to see how much you are getting and to know where and how to adjust.

Congrats on losing 147lbs!!! That's awesome!

Also you're close to your goal so weight loss gets hard and very slow at that point!!

I did have a separation around the time I stoped losing and I legit didnt eat anything when I was losing I ate pop corn and cheese and drank a ton of Water. I do eat more and i feel hungry now that didnt happen before. I do think its time to hit the gym and get it going.

Track everything you're eating and keep tabs on your calories and macros. You can hit the gym but remember you can't out exercise a bad diet!

Diet cleanup first, gym second 🙌

I agree track foods/fluids. I understand the busy lifestyle of kids and full time work. I pack a Protein Shake for lunch, and have to say no to lunch invites out. I track everything I put into my lunch box in the morning so I will know what to plan to eat for dinner with the family. Good luck with your journey.

I was tempted to not eat anything in order to lose quickly, but I know how sneaky my body is and decided against doing that. My body doesn't forget anything. If I try to trick it, it remembers and it will take secret steps behind my back to get its way and get the last word. I didn't even do shakes. I ate fully and carefully, followed the egg timer to a T, ignored my nutritionist and ate whatever healthy my body asked specifically for. Turns out everything I craved, my body needed at that particular time, to heal and reset itself. Beets gave me Iron, seafood gave me zinc, kimchi gave me Vitamins A and C, brazil nuts gave me selenium and magnesium, all these silly cravings had me going to and from the market like I was pregnant, lol! But looking back the old bod knew what she needed and I was right to listen to her and not fears, worries or recommendations. If you skip meals your body will get those nutrients and calories somehow, even if she has to sneak you into a mindless food coma and make you not pay attention to what you're eating or drinking to do it. You skipped meals to lose fast, and now she's getting the last word, sounds like! Treat her right, assure her you'll take care of her and just reset yourself with lots of healthy fresh things. Protein ahead, everything else behind. Lots of Water. You'll start losing again, don't worry.

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

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
