So.....I am 6 montths out from my VSG and I must say...I believe I'm doing great!  I have had no issues with food, vomiting, water....nothing, I have been able to eat or drink whatever I want...good or bad?   I have to date lost 85 pounds and I have 25 to go to get to my final goal weight ...however, I am in fear, fear of gaining all the weight back, fear of over eating, fear I'm not eating the right things....all around fear!!!  Yes there have been times I over ate a little, but I have never vomited, felt a little crappy for about an hour, but thats it.  I'm experienceing what I believe to be the dreaded STALL.  I have been at 165 for about 3 weeks.  I'm not in a good fram of mind...I keep thinking this wonderful gift is going to stretch out or fail and I will be right back where I started. You see, I LOVE food.   This awesome tool has taught me portion sizes, has taught me how to pay attention to what goes in my mouth.  But for some reason, I'm terrified I have eaten a little to much one to many times and now.....my sleeve is no longet a sleeve.  I know it must be ...I can only eat about 1cup of food per sitting, but my mind keeps me wondering.  UGH!!   If anyone has any advice or words of encouragement...it would be very welcomed!!  thanks for listening  :)

You're fine.  Your sleeve is fine.  Your fear is normal.  The last pounds are gonna fight you like a ***** to come off.  Keep on program and keep on doing what you're doing and you'll get there....it just never happens as quickly as we'd like!

Hang in there the scale will budge again.

Your fear is understandable, none of us has ever succeeded in keeping weight off before VSG.  I am here to tell you that you can embrace your fear and not fight it.  In truth, you do have a difficult situation coming up.  You are in the last stage of your weight loss, which is the hardest, you are in a stall and the holidays are around the corner.  I bet the old you would have taken advantage of this and put pounds right back on.  The new you does not have to do the same thing.  You can choose to use this time to redouble your commitment and effort to your healthy eating, take control where you might have become a bit more lenient and choose to move your body more.  You can set a behavioral goal for yourself and chart your progress in meeting it.  You can be tenacious and zero in on what you want most.  You can choose to watch your calories, protein, carbs and even sodium (it seems to become a bigger issue toward the end of the weight loss phase).  You can choose to believe that you can make this happen.  You can do this.  We are all pulling for you.

 you can do it! Believe it and acheive it!!

its okay, you are doing AWESOME! Its allright to be afraid. You will reach your goal weight. Just dont give up!!

I think the fear is normal. No need to worry
