The big one for me is when you feel smaller but the scale doesn’t change
Happens to me all the time !! That’s when I try on some clothes that was too tight before , that always does the trick !
@@karensandiego😂😮
The stalls are the worst not to mention when you’re period starts and the bloating/retaining water weight happens. You’re videos are so helpful. Please continue to post them.
Yea I stall every time I have my period ! Thank you 💕✨
Something I’ve discovered that helps with bloating is using castor oil…I’ve been using it on my stomach and below my stomach and I see a difference already helping with bloating
Thank you!! Tomorrow is one month for me, and I wanted to throw myself a pity party because I haven't lost as much as my surgery sisters. But this journey is mine! I can't compare to people who are so different from me! The scale will move when it's ready and I just have to accept it!
Yesss !! That’s the way to look at it 💕
What I'm noticing in A LOT of vsg patients, they are gaining the weight back plus more . Most people get the surgery, and continue eating junk food but expect to get skinny🤔. Nooo you have to change your whole mind set , food habits and all in order for the tool to work.
Yea it’s about re learning your relationship with food .
So true 👍🏼
I’m on a 3 month stall. It’s frustrating. I’m so used to eating small now. I still have restriction when I try to eat more. I know my calories are under and that’s probably the reason. I also need to drink more water. Coming to my year anniversary soon. I have faith in myself and trusting the process that I’ll break this soon. I’m almost to ultimate goal. Just 10 more pounds.
I am 8weeks post op and have been stalled for 5 days at 199. It’s so frustrating but found this video so informative.
Thanks so much for this! I just had VSG surgery 5 weeks ago and everyone keeps telling me I look smaller and I can tell my clothes are fitting much better but the number on the scale hasn’t moved in weeks. I really appreciate this video so much.
at 8 mths out, not only did I hit a stall, I had an 8lb gain in a week. because I track, I knew my body was adjusting. I lost 4 of those pounds overnight and 1 pound the day after. I could feel the fluid I was retaining. This is why I track so I can have data knowing how my body ramps up and ramps down. Getting to know our bodies outside of just the number is really key to maintainig mental sanity. I'm with you on not restarting the liquid stage - that's the equivalent of a crash diet. Why are we going back to the drastic stuff. We can't diet anymore. We don't eat enough to do a calorie deficiency thing.
Super helpful girl! Thanks!
This was very informational . I stalled around 3 weeks post op. Now 10 weeks post op and I’m still stalled . Highest weight 277. Pre op 264. Day of surgery 250 and now 237-238. Last week i hit 236 and i felt finally i broke my stall but 2 days later boom 238 again so i put my scale away cuz it’s really starting to bother me that i can’t move past 237. I have lost inches and clothes fit better but the numbers aren’t moving
Gosh kilograms are so much kinder🙂
This was sooo on time for me! I'm experiencing a three month stall. I also had a low BMI to begin with, so not a lotta weight to lose. I have about 30-40 more lbs to go!
Thus was so informative 😊. Thanks
Very good information ℹ️ Thanks 🙏🏾
Thank you for this video. I needed this information.
I needed to hear this thank you.
So glad I found this. Thank you! Exactly what I needed to hear.
I needed to hear this! Thanks ♥️ God bless you!
Thank you! I really appreciate your tips! This really helped. You look amazing!
Great video sis !!! Thank you for this ! I’m 39 days post op.
Karen thanks for this video. Very encouraging❤
I haven't even started my journey yet but I am thankful I stumbled upon this video! Thank you.
Thanks for making this! I'm 4 weeks out, your advice is so helpful
this video was so informative , thank you so much.
Thank you so much i really needed this video! I’m 1 month out and a friend from tik tok told me watch and i feel a lot better
Thank so much for all your videos. You motivated me to document my journey. I am having different surgery but your content is so helpful.
I needed this!
Thanks for the video, it made a lot of sense. I’m at the 3 week stall. 😊
Thanks I really needed to hear this
🥰🥰
I'm 5days PO, and these videos are so helpful and just informative. Appreciate you for this
Thank you for sharing! I will be starting my journey next month and I’ve been gathering tips to help me plan ahead and be prepared.
THANK YOU!! I was waiting for this one. I’m 5 weeks out and have been stalled for 12 days. I’ve lost 40 pounds so far so I’m trying to be patient but it’s hard. 😩
Try on some clothes that were too small before . Trust it’s going to feel soooo good when you see how it fits now 💕
what you eat???
Hi Karen... I can't tell you how happy I am to have found you on here... I'm having mine tom the 31/1 /23 and you have helped me get prepared mentally and have helped me for everything after the surgery... Thank you Again... And you look amazing sis !!!
Girl this video is right on time! Because I’ve been at a 3 week stall at 206lbs I’m so hard on myself but I haven’t worked out in 3weeks! Thanks for sharing! Your beautiful 😍
Thank you so much for everything you said 😢 I was secretly losing it and wanted to start eating less or starving myself again 💟
Hi. This was very encouraging. I'm 1 month out and I had the same problem.
Great video yes it’s the vitamin intake that I need to do better I had to tell myself I’m not broken after my 3 week stall..I can definitely see the difference trying on clothes vs seeing that scale..I gotta be my biggest cheerleader I’m learning..Thank you,VSG community y’all got this!!!
Loving your last 2 videos, came at the right time for me. Thank you
You’re welcome 🥰🥰
Also avoid falling into the trap of grazing throughout the day.
Thx for the info!👌
You’re welcome 🥰🥰🥰
The stalls really saving our lives 😂😂❤❤❤ thank you so much for this video !!
Thank you
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for walking me off the ledge. I hit a stall and instantly wanted to go back to the liquid diet. I must be doing something wrong. Thank you I’ll keep pushing forward and stay on top of my liquids.
Thank you!!! Im four weeks out and facing a two stall. I lost 30lbs so far and fear of gaining it back.
SUCH GREAT INFORMATION!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story.
You’re welcome 🥰 thanks for watching 💕
I’m 7 months post vsg and have already been on a 3 month stall. My doctor said it’s too soon for my body to be doing that. But it is frustrating not seeing the scale move anymore. I’m glad I came across your video because I have seen it everywhere, where people say go back into the liquid diet 😬. I will not be doing that. I will try following some of the things you mentioned especially trying to drink more water.
I love how clear and straight you are. You give the information I need, no more, no less. To the point. Thank you. You help. (I am 2.5 months out vsg)
Thank you !! 💕💕 I think that comes from me being a former 5th grade teacher lol I got used to explaining things as simple as possible 🥰
Thank you 😊
Thank you.
You are awesome!
Thank you ! 🥰✨
Thank u so much this video helped me understand better 💗 💕 💓 thank u
No problem !
Thank You So much❤❤❤
Hi. This was so helpful, I am 6 months post-op and am down 73 lbs. The scale IS evil! Thanks for talking about the stall and how to get through it. 🙂 Really appreciate this video. You look amazing btw.
That was a very organised and informative presentation. Thank you so much. It was reassuring!
Thank youuu 💕💕
Thank you so much!! I am in a stall and I am trusting the process!!! Thx again for this!! Very informative 🥰🥰🥰
You’re welcome 🥰🥰🥰 hoping your stall breaks soon 💕
Yess I needed this video I’m 3 weeks out and I had my period for 7 days and then I’ve been on a stall for almost 2 weeks
Same!!! Been stuck at 203 for going on two weeks.
I maintained 100lb weightloss, surgery date was 2012. During the pandemic I lost an additional 50lbs and was looking good, I also had another baby in 2019. After my office reopened and I went back to work full time, my weight started going back up and I regained the weight I'd lost during the pandemic. I put myself in a deficit, I work out 3xs a week and I'm focusing on protein and the scale hasn't moved in a month!! I don't wanna do keto again because you're right, the weight comes back so instead I'm doing low carb. Something has got to give! Finally made an appt with my nutritionist.
Just stay consistent and stay off the scale ! The scale will definitely move eventually if you are consistent
@@karensandiego thanks, I'll try. And congrats on your progress
Wow thank you for this everything you talked about is what I needed to hear. I'm one month out and I stalled 2 weeks after my sleeve. Thanks 😊
Stalls happen ! They are part of the process but don’t let them get you discouraged 💕💕💕
I'm almost 3 weeks past op and have been stalled since day 8. It's so frustrating but I'm trying to remind myself it's normal and not to panic. I'm going to put the scale away for now and enjoy the fact that I have to go down in size in my pants again.
Thanks for this video, I was just on ig, thinking about DMing you about this topic. I lost 40 lbs then pause for 2 weeks, now 5 more gone. It was making me anxious
Yea I can relate to that feeling . But trust that this is just part of the process and you WILL reach your goals ! 💕
I am 7 months post op and everything you mentioned about breaking a stall is absolutely accurate!! I stalled at 3 months and my longest stall was at 6 months post op. I’ve learned not to worry! I just keep moving. Staying consistent with your meals is a must!! Thank you for validating everything I’ve been doing!!
You’re welcome !! I 💕💕💕
I am still waiting for my surgery 🙃 but ur process is making me feel better about where I am going. But I'm struggling to lose 15 pounds
I’m 5 days post op and have been binge watching your channel!! I take away so much from each video 💖
i did that too when i was at home after the surgery!!! 😍🥰
Thanks for the support 💕💕 congrats on your surgery !!
Me too 5 days exact how are you feeling because I’m still in pain she felt better faster By the way I been watching Karen sandiego videos all day
@@yohanasolis8685 I’m about 2.5 weeks post op now and my pain is basically gone! The first week was brutal 😅 I also haven’t been great about getting proper nutrition (I’ve basically just been drinking water) so I’ve been exhausted and sometimes light headed. Getting my nutrition in check so I can feel even better!
I'm two weeks out tomorrow, and I've been stalled for 3 days. In all honesty, it is stressful 🙃 but you have to mentally focus on maintaining good habits. Im trying to walk more. It's tough mentally, but I know it will pass.
Thank you for another awesome video! 😁
hi did you end up looing more weight ? i'm in the same boat rn
I’ve not had my surgery yet… I’m scheduled for March (hopefully it happens then).. but I’ve done some research and had some discussions regarding stalls. Thank you for the info and transparency… even the TMI (kidding). It’s necessary!
Congrats on your journey. I have my 1st consultation scheduled for next month. Can I ask, did you have to wait 6 months before you got your surgery date?
What I also did was recheck my measurements. I was super upset during the 3 week stall (that I’m still in 😫) but I rechecked my measurements and my waist is down 5 inches since week 1!
Karen, 3 mins in and you are speaking to me! I’ll be 4 weeks post op Tuesday and I have definitely been in that 3 week stall starting at week 2 and you ARE RIGHT!
It’s happened as soon as I got off the liquid diet which for my program was week 1. We got to bring eggs in week 2.
But I’m trusting the process!
I DEFINITELY am fitting clothes differently! Blazers aren’t as tight around my arms. My pants are bagger and I’m using a new hole on my belt buckle.
Also major win, I went down a whole dress size for a bridesmaid dress I tried on a month ago and wore the smaller size last week.
“The Evil Scale” 😂🤣😂
I love this so much! Thank you!!!
I’ve been measuring since day 1 so that evil scale doesn’t get to me too badly😂😭
That’s smart ! I need to start measuring 💕
girls in ny/nj area, let’s meet up somewhere to get to know each other and share our experiences!
Great video, I’m a vsg patient I have lost 106 lbs since my surgery in October 2021
That is amazingggg !! Congrats 🎊
Thank you so much for this video. I am 10 months post op and have been stalled since 6 months and it’s very discouraging. I am ok where I am currently but would love to loss at least 25 lbs but I haven’t been the weight I am now since I was in my 20s (I am 42). Age is also a factor in weight loss it surely is a lot harder to lose weight when you are older. I am definitely going to take your advice
Age is definitely a factor ! But don’t get discouraged , that extra 25 will come off 💕💕
I’m so happy to see your comment. I’m in that exact situation right now.
@@nikkipuurula6954 honey it’s been a couple of months since that comment and I am still in the same position 🫤
I just hit the 4wk mark lost 20lbs and have been stalled for a minute (more than 1 wk). Uggh it’s discouraging but then u hear others going through the same and it makes me feel better lol.
The stall I’m at now is the weight that I would stall at when I was losing weight naturally. (215-220) 😅 So it’s really triggering! I would usually give up in the past BUT I’ve been strategically waiting to start in the gym until now! So it’s go time!
Thanks for this video i just have surgery sept 1 my sleeve done and I have been in a stall for one week 🤦♀️
Congrats on your surgery !🎉 stalls are completely normal ! Trust me the scale will move soon 💕💕
@@karensandiego thank you thank you is been hard trusting but this videos get me hope thank you again 🥰😁
You nailed it with all my fears abouts stalls. Good to know somwonw has gone through it and passed the vital information along. Definitely made my mind feel at ease. Love the saying trust the process! My fear is to not get near my goal weight before that 1 year is up or even in the middle of that first year but im barely 3 weeks post op. Thank you!
I’m two week post op I’ve been stall I’m at 3/2 370 on 2/20 I was 373 I’m so disappointed I’m trying to trust the process
Hi Was u dizzy your first 2 mons ?? I still sometimes dizzy I'm 7 weeks out
I wasn’t . But that could be due to dehydration
I'm 6 about to be 6 weeks and I'm on a stall I go to the gym about 2-3 times a week, but I'm horrible with my food and water intake, I feel like a failure like I broke my sleeve 😪
You didn’t break it I promise ! Just get back to doing what you know you are supposed to do . You’re human we aren’t perfect 💕💕
Karen! Have you done your lips? You look 🔥!
Nope these are my natural lips 💕
@@karensandiego lucky you!!! beautiful!!!
The way I was considering doing all liquids to restart🤣. Anywayyssss
You look great and sound strong. I’m waiting on my date. I’m looking for my self esteem back. Nutritionalist frustrates me. One she talks loud like I can’t hear and second I feel like she speaks down to me like my weight gain is all my fought. I’ve never been this large before. I gain weight after each major surgery I’ve had it stuck, stress anxiety bought on depression, I eat only because I have to or headache sets in or cravings. She’s young skinny white looks as if she has no worries in this crazy world. I hate having to meet with her in this journey because I find her so unrelated. She’s had no kids I’m not sure if she is married. I find it difficult to hear her in a positive and supporting way. Your sharing helps give me hope. I like your suggestion of setting eating times to do better at staying consistent as to when I eat. Communications with my body via my mindset to eat better in timing.
Definitely see if you can get a different nutritionist ! You should be able to speak to a professional you can trust
I’m almost finished. Endoscopy exam she see a node. Follow up ultra sound now then I’m hoping for a date. I’m tired. Started this process 2019 then accident (life). Now added weight and arthritis. Yet I’m moving to well.
I have stalled the last two months (between months 4-6) and it’s so depressing. I finally starting losing again but what a waste of precious time. 😢
I've been in a stall for Like 4 months 😩... in 3 weeks I'll be 1 year since my surgery
I hear that is normal !! Around a year it’s normal to have longer stalls since they say you lose most of your weight in the first year. From what’s I’ve heard it doesn’t mean you’re done losing weight , it just slows down after a year
I found out by bmi and my daily expenditure even if I ate nothing and just had water based on what my body burns weightloss will be slow 😢 so sad the max I can lose is 1-2 pounds per week unless I workout with the minimal food I'm able to eat working out will just be a recipe for disaster only managing 500 calories per day I tried to go for a long walk and I was super exhausted nearly collapse lol I'm just dreading when my appetite comes bk how I will manage
What if you are not hungry do force youself
No , if I’m not hungry I don’t eat. Unless I know I didn’t eat anything for the day and then I’ll have something even if I’m not hungry just to make sure I’m getting in proper nutrition. But that doesn’t happen often unless I’m busy.
I’m 3 months out and I’m stuck at 258 I need to lose 4 lbs
I'm 4 months post op and started working out 1 month ago, and am in a1 month stall 😔
I hope you stall has broken since then !
I can't really tell if I'm stalling or not but it just doesn't look like I'm losing any rate it's been almost 8 weeks since I have my surgery and it doesn't seem like I'm losing anyway I can't tell if I'm doing anything right I've never been a consistent eater but I do try to get in all the protein that I need in a day but I cannot track my eating I'm eating certain things like oatmeal chicken fish and tuna but at first I don't think I was getting in enough liquids. It's really expensive trying to keep up with the protein shakes and vitamins. I want to eat regular food like I made some enchiladas for my daughter I really wanted to eat some would that be a problem since it's a corn tortilla and I've also been having craving for tacos which I actually ate one I just don't see that as being too fattening can I still eat stuff like that and lose weight as long as I follow my liquids and my protein
I’m 6 months post op and haven’t lost more than a few pounds for the last 3 months…😮 I eat very healthy I don’t understand
So basically I need to be re- sleeved. Cause I’m 3yrs out only lost 125. I want to drop 65-70 more.
Manifesting that you will get to hour goal weight soon !! 💕✨
I got like 40 ish to go. I want skin removal
12:51 begins stall break advice
Sena tea helps poop Smooth Move has this herb in it....
Yup that’s what I use
i guess i’m lucky bc i haven’t had any stalls! woo hoo. i stay away from carbs of any kind.
Very lucky !
Like 0 carbs always ?
I’ve been on a stall for a month 😭
It will pass soon ! ✨
1 year out; stalling
What if you been stalling for 4 months and you’re a year out i can not get over 285 to save my life 🥹🥹🥹😩
I know it gets harder to lose weight after the first year , but I haven’t got there yet so I don’t really know much . Are you eating over 1200 calories ? It might help to try to decrease it to how much you ate when you were like 4 months post op .
I’m on a 3 month stall. It’s frustrating. I’m so used to eating small now. I still have restriction when I try to eat more. I know my calories are under and that’s probably the reason. I also need to drink more water. Coming to my year anniversary soon. I have faith in myself and trusting the process that I’ll break this soon. I’m almost to ultimate goal. Just 10 more pounds.
