Hi All, Debi h , don't get discouraged. Everyone loses weight differently. just go over the diet and exercise instructions you have. some times even a small change such as cutting back on calories ( just a little)for a day, increasing Water intake, or 1 extra set of exercises can get one off the plateau.

Ok so I guess I need to buy a weight bench or something. I've been using my gazelle but it doesnt seem to be doing it. I live in a town that is too small (no signals yet)!! we dont have much in town and its to far to go into town. I cant walk much because of health issues. I just put my pool up so I will start to swim soon. That should help. I had some of my fill removed and that helped. I can eat again but havnt lost any weight since......

I am down 2 pounds this week.

Debi, on the other side of the coin...you want to make sure you are eating enough calories. If you eat too few, your body will hold on and you won't lose weight. I think that's been part of my problem the last couple of weeks since my last fill. I'm gonna give it to the end of the week to see if I can eat more. I have been able to eat some more this past week.

I lost 1# last week. I think I am way to loose. I went for 12 days in feb being to tight and that scared me into taking my fills slower. I go back in 2 weeks and am hopefully going to get to a happy medium. It feels like I am hungry all the time.

Hi All,

Well I had a bad food weekend. It was my birthday weekend (4/3) and I gained 1 lb. so I am back up to 235. However, I had a fill today and I am feeling pretty tight right now so hopefully that will give me a boost this month.

        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
