I had gastric sleeve surgery 10 months ago and I’ve only lost 29 lbs. I still have 100lbs to go. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Meeting with your Surgeon... ASAP

I agree - meet with your surgeon. People lose at all different rates, but 29 lbs in 10 months is very low. Are you logging what you eat? Are you following your plan religiously? I'd definitely start by meeting with my medical team.

Something wrong definitely.

I lost the 20lbs in my first 7 days.

I agree with above all of them - Call the Doc

Also if you can meet with a Nutritionist Hire one, I do not follow any barbaric plan concerning food schedule, I with doctor approval started this journey once i got my head out of my Ass to simply get healthy. Wieght loss was second to my health! I have found it can be broken down really simple. I do not care about the 500 page plans and all the other marketing behind dieting it comes down to this flash card!

Calories IN must be way less then calories out! = equals weight loss

Carbs in/ sugar intake = discomfort and stalls in weight loss or gain

Healthy in = Healthy feeling and healthy weigh loss

Since there is not a chance in hell i am going to us a App or log or anything like that, Just a typical lazy male, i focused on intake in the healthiest way possible. It worked for me

I would hope she's been like most of us and had 1,2,3, and 6 month post-op appointments.

I was wondering the same thing! What did the doc say at your follow up apts?

I stay away from carbs, and sugar. I'm walking an average of 4.5 miles a day.

If it is too cold outside, I go to Walmart if I have to, to get my walking in.

I've lost almost 20lbs and I'm 3 weeks post op.

How are y'all adding the signature weight progress? I love it!

        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
