Thank you for this. It gave me how. Did you have to change stuff up to get past it or did you just go steady? I sometimes doubt the idea to shake it up a lot to get things moving along. 

I didnt change anything, I did lose inches the entire time going from a 40 at the begining of the stall to a 36.

I didn't change much except I added a handful of Almonds. Excercise or not didn't seem to make a difference. Going from losing easily the first 4 months and dropping over 10 pounds a month, I just had to adjust that maybe 5 - 8 pounds a month was going to be the new standard. I'm sure measurements were changing, but I only own a ruler so they are hard to take. I'm sticking to the program and still very happy. Going down is better than up. Taking a month-long view is better than a daily view. You have done a terrific job and the last 20 or so are going to be the hardest. The end is so close. Keep it up.

Thank you. I'm trying to keep my head up and make it through this. It's so much more emotional than I thought it would be.

Thank you for this!! Just hit 4 months and stalling since Christmas and was freaking out!

If you didn't gain over the holiday's great job! My goal for December was to not gain weight. I had 3 big parties with all the great food and drinking that goes with it. Not only did I not gain I lost one pound. I look at it as great as a 4-pound loss. If you enjoyed the holidays and didn't gain consider it a win.

I'm so glad I found this thread! I'm actually 9 months out but started stalling at 6 months out. I've only lost 6lbs since October! I've just started intermittent fasting this week and am hoping it helps to get things started again. I also saw something about a "pouch reset". What does that consist of? Willing to try anything at this point! I still have 30lbs to go before I reach my 100lb weight loss and only have 3 months to do it 😕

I know that the weight loss slows down around 6-8 months. Per my surgeons office. I didn't expect a screeching halt. At least you are still seeing some loss!! That's a good sign!

I love having this forum to touch base!!!

I seem to stall every few weeks. I was dropping like crazy initially now I will lose any where from 1-4lbs then sit at the same weight for 2-3wks before losing anything. I'm 3 months PO. I just keep following the plan. I did talk to my nutritionist and she told me to make sure I'm getting at least 800 calories a day. This doesn't happen for me a lot of days. Sure I could get that much if I ate crap. However, when I'm eating all my Protein for the day in healthy food I'm not hungry to keep eating. Lately I've been trying to get closer too 100 grams of protein to see if that helps.

Omg. Finally, the scale is moving again. That was honestly terrifying for me. I've lost 2 lbs in a week.

I have lost a total of 94 (I think) pounds!

      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.
