Had my 6 month post op appt on Wednesday. Went FANTASTIC, but still in this stupid stall. Officially 3 weeks on Wednesday. So so annoying. Really ready to have it break so I can get on with it. Have to get bloodwork done, but all vitals and stats look excellent. Happy with my progress and my NSVs and my improved health. My dietician told me to keep my calories between 1100 - 1200 per day and add 2 days of weight training to my workout routine. I was doing light weights and cardio 5 days per week and she said to add the weight training to the 2 days I'm not working out. She said my diet and drinks and Snacks are all good, the amount and frequency I'm eating are good. So hopefully this will help. Today was my first day doing it. This stall is just driving me nuts. She also said if I get to 5 weeks, it's considered a plateau at that point and not a stall anymore. And then there's different things I would need to do if I'm in a plateau. Hope it doesn't get to that. I know stalls are normal, but I haven't even lost 100 pounds yet, and I'm nowhere near my goal, so slowing down this much at this point is really frustrating. Just gonna keep on keepin on until the stall breaks and the scale makes me happy again.

Good to hear the progress you have made. I had my RNY done on the 9th May. My weight loss has slowed down this past month too. it is kinda a little bit odd this whole experience isnt it? Never done this before and dont know what to expect. Wouldnt it be nice to know what the road ahead would look like? Like yourself I do feel much better for my loss. I am basically just going for walks at this point. So far I can manage 3.5kms easily which is such an change after finding walking past four houses was enough to exhaust me.

We got this.

You are doing great! You probably are gaining muscle with all the workouts and it’s balancing the fat loss weight wise… keep up the amazing work

Today is a rest day from working out. My body is SORE. Adding the weight training has been a game changer, for sure. Given that I have MS and run a real risk of overdoing it, I have to keep giving myself 2 days to rest. BUT, I added the weight training to 2 days of my normal workouts. So 2 days a week I'm PUSHING myself, 3 days I do my normal cardio, and 2 days I let my body rest. My body is MAD right now LOL The weights are a whole other thing. I love it, though. I love how my health and body are changing, and adding the weights is just going to make it even better.

I'm hoping to lose more weight before I gain enough muscle to affect my weight LOL

Thank you. I'm not checking until my normal weigh in day on Tuesday. Just want to focus on my new workout routine before I even think about my weight.

YAY!!!! My stall officially broke!!!! It's only 3 pounds, but I gained 2 pounds during the stall so I technically lost 5 pounds and am down 3. I'm sooooo close to being below 300 for the first time in over 17 years. OMG!!!!!

        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.

      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
