Same thing happened to me, but when I stopped loosing weight I stopped loosing for more than a month!!! I had gotten down about 25 pounds or so and from March third until the first week of April I didnt loose a single pound. I upped my Protein in a major way I wasnt able to eat enough so Istarted on Protein shakes (from around 40gms to 80-90gms) and the weight started to come off again.

It may be the Protein, it may not, we are all different but try playing with your diet a bit. Add more protein for a week or so, if it doesnt work try adding more fibre also.

Congrats on the weight loss so far, keep me updated on your fills (I havent had one yet either so we should be sailing once we get some restriction).

you are doing great. get rid of the scale, muscle weights more than fat. you body is getting used to the band. I am trying to walk by the scale and pretend its not there. I am at a stall on the scale, but cloths are fitting better, (my pants fell off at work going down the stairs) I was embarred but happy.

good luck

I have been away from the forum for a bit - working out takes like waaaay more time than I expected. lol

(I hate every minute of working out - does anyone have a fix for that??? Acccck!)

I have lost a couple of pounds, but now my "friend" is visiting so I might not lose much if anything this week. However, clearly my body is changing - my pants looked utterly ridiculous today and I almost killed myself coming down the stairs at work becuase the pants were slipping down around my hips. This made them too long and I got my feet caught in my own pantlegs! Good grief - embarrassing but funny.

Anyway - I'm hoping things will change more drastically when I get my fill in two weeks. I'm pretty much able to eat larger amounts of food than I expect I should. Still haven't cheated but it sure gets pretty difficult sometimes. :party:

What activities do you enjoy? Find a way to incorporate them into your workout so it isn't so yucky for you :party:

      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. 🤞
