I have only lost 1 lb in the last month. I need help. I eat okay but work is stressing me out. We only have 21 days till vacation and I am glad. I eat tuna a lot and let me say I have not been very strict on my diet. If I want something I eat it then I feel guilty. But then the guilt goes away. What can I do to keep the guilt? I am going on 9 months from surgery and lost about 85 lbs.

Honestly, I would say just relax and wait it out. You're averaging about 9 1/2 lbs per month, which is better than the statistical expectation for VSG.

Are you nearing your goal weight? It will become harder as you get there. A lot harder. Because proportionately, each pound is becoming a much, much greater percentage of your excess body weight. If close to goal, you might want to look at your BMR and compare it to your daily intake and see where you're at.

And sometimes it's just a waiting game because our bodies simply will not sustain continuous fat loss if we give them any possible way to avoid it (and sometimes even if we don't).

Yea relax and make sure you're not eating sugar and processed flour. Drink plenty of water and no soda. These are big key things to maximize weightloss I've found.

I follow AmySDMom on Youtube, and she does a yogurt fast once in a while that helps her drop several pounds... kind of like going back to the basics for a reset.

Increase your calories and increase your cardio workouts. When I was about 9 months out, I hit a wall, I was not getting enough calories and started to lose muscle mass. Get out of the routine you have been in and throw your body a curve. Still eat healthy but add more meals throughout the day to keep your metabalism going. This worked for me and others as well. Add an extra glass of water to your day as well, I drink about 80 oz a day at least. It will come for you, it does get harder the closer you get to your goal so mix it up.
