  1. I am struggling.  I've been depressed, so I've felt totally "over it" in terms of staying on plan.  While I've mostly been eating what I should be eating (but erring most on the side of fatty foods), I'm eating way too much throughout the day, having many small meals even when I'm not hungry because I'm sitting at home bored,  I'm exhausted and dehydrated and can't get myself to sleep less than 10-12 hours let alone exercise (even roller skating, which I love).  I feel like am doing this all wrong and am paying the price with a stall.

      I am sorry to hear you are struggling. Do what you need to do to stay healthy mentally and physically. I hope you can get to the other side of your depression. Hang in there.

  2. The stall officially broke yesterday and I'm down to 234! So 3lbs lost in 2 days! HALLELUJAH!

  3. My weight will JUST NOT BUDGE. I'm annoyed. This stall sucks. Can stress alone trigger a stall? I'm 237, have been for...oh 10 days now. I'm doing everything else I need to, but am more stressed than I have been. 

    1. KimTriesRNY

      KimTriesRNY

      You will stall. I’ve had stalls for over three weeks at a time. The lower you get, the longer it will take to lose the pounds. Just keep to the program, it will come off. It’s discouraging but everyone goes through it! 🤗

  4. One Week Post Op today! I feel great and almost walking back to normal. I have learned in this short week to not drink your dinner protein shake at a constant sipping. I spent 30 min the last two nights trying to release the pressure in my chest. Lesson Learned! I am back down to Surgery Date Weight as of this morning, actually half a pound less. Now to look forward to actual losses LOL. I guess i had a lot of gas and liquids that are taking time to leave my body. Its all good, it will be gone eventually! I have no regrets, and take each day as it comes and look forward to the next stage next Thursday, and getting my stitches out on Tuesday.

  7. Tomorrow is my last day of real food, i cant say unrestricted, there was no food funeral for me because my surgeon requires a weigh in the day before surgery and if you have gained surgery is off. My weight has been good though. Tuesday im clear liquids and then the big day!! Ive been busy all week getting last minute things done, laundry, shopping, pre cooking, i just cannot believe that what ive been dreaming of four years is finally here.

      You will be back on real food before you know it. The time on liquids is a really hard time, but it doesn't last very long and the long term results are worth it. Keep your eye on the prize.

  8. For the last two weeks, I've been losing close to a pound a day...is this okay???

    1. OKCPirate

      OKCPirate

      Yep. Congrats. At that rate it will stall at 21 (see three week stall).

  9. Tried on some new clothes for the first time since my surgery - 6 weeks out today and have gone from 22/24 (sometimes 26/28) to a very comfortable 18/20. Woohoo! And yes, I did buy a few cute things on clearance. :3

  10. a few weeks ago I bought a pair of size 12 dress pants because they were on clearance. they were a couple of inches away from fastening/zipping. today they fastened/zipped easily. don't look quite right yet, but within the next couple of weeks I suspect they will. I haven't worn that size in a very long time. guess I better put them in the queue to be hemmed up!

      it's just NUTS. :-) in a good way. in the weeks since I bought these pants the scale has been bouncing around the same 3-4 pounds. and NOT going lower, but obviously the body is changing, because I haven's so much as washed them yet, so I know the pants haven't changed. what a wild ride.

  11. The dreaded "2 weeks stall" won't budge...ain't nobody got time for disssss I have vacation coming up!

  12. Wore out from first semester of grad school. I'm eating horrible with very little sleep. Have this week off then again for killer 5 weeks....wth have I gotten myself into????

      I don't know what you're studying, but I do know what you're not studying.

  13. Went to store, used a mortozied cart (because of my ACL knee surgery TWO weeks ago). My teenager was Mortified. Saying that this was like my "600 lb life) and that I needed to lose weight (duh, WLS planned for Nov). I laughed it off, but also realized that if I don't have surgery/lose weight, I am headed for motorized cart & how hard it would be. :(

    1. Cervidae

      Cervidae

      @WLSResources/ClothingExch LOL! You made me laugh out loud here in my quiet apartment. Thanks for that!

       

      @Anna Nim I had the same surgery 2 months ago! Well that, plus a meniscus repair and a meniscus trim. But a few months ago in San Diego, we went to the zoo, and my knee was so messed up that my boyfriend and aunt convinced me to get a scooter so I could see the whole zoo. I was pretty mortified too, especially when strangers stopped in their tracks to stare/glare at me or even confront me and tell me "I should be walking!" I weighed about 250 at the time, so I was definitely overweight but in no way "600 pound life" large. People are going to be ridiculous/ignorant/judgmental no matter what, so do what you need to so you can recover and ignore the a-holes! Teenagers are, as a whole, incapable of ignoring them, hence the mortification. :P Hope your knee heals well and quickly!

      This was one of the reasons I decided to have surgery - I pictured myself having to ride around in a hoveround by age 50! :-(

       

    3. Anna Nim

      Anna Nim

      You guys are cracking me up! Mow The Kid down indeed!!

      I would SO smack a person who actually SAID I should be walking! Those are the same fools that tell women to breastfeed in the restroom. Luckily, at 5 10 and resting bitch face, I never had to do that :)

      I just need to do PT..like right now! I need the strength to stop wearing the brace, but since it is hard to move around, it is a pain.

      @Cervidae I also had mensicus repair and trim. They shaved all the fuzzy off my bones. Ick City!

      Thanks ya'll!

  14. I called the insurance company and they still haven't assigned a nurse to my case for surgery approval after more than 2 weeks. They suggested the doctor's office call. Soooo, I called the doctor's office! They are going to call on Monday to request my case is expedited. Still in limbo - but there is potential action on the horizon!

    1. Valentina

      Keep calling. "The squeaky hinge get the grease".

    2. Djmohr

      Djmohr

      Yup, don't stop calling. You have to be your own advocate and make sure that people are doing their job. Plus, if you bug them enough they just want to get rid of you.

      Good luck!

  15. So if you did "really good" on your "diet" this week, don't treat/reward yourself with food! You deserve better than that!

  16. I cheated on my two week pre-op liquid diet. I had pizza and chicken wings and I have like six days till my surgery date.

    1. hbrhonda

      hbrhonda

      If you saw how much your stomach convulses and churns to digest food you wouldn't have cheated. Liquids are to make it easier for your body to heal.

      He is on his pre-op diet. The purpose of the diet is to shrink his liver, he still has a normal stomach.

  20. It's always nice hitting a home run with your SO. She has had such a rough week, found the right restaurant to relax and reconnect. The whole night was perfect. She left looking relaxed and refreshed.

      that's wonderful! yesterday on the way home David took me to walk the pier on my favorite beach even though we didn't have time, really. after the last week I had it was the perfect way for him to care for me too. You're a keeper and I hope you two are always so happy together.

  24. 6 weeks out and started exercising in earnest and now the dreaded stall. Out of frustration pre-surgery, I would be three quarters of the way through a bag of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups! So thankful that kind of distructive eating is no longer a part of my life!

    1. The New Kel

      The New Kel

      Ahhh the dreaded stall! hang in there...it will pass! Good for you for the exercise routine. I am still trying to make a habit out of mine.

      And I can soooo relate to the recess candy binge had I not had this sleeve. The sleeve has many times saves me from myself.

      Great to hear your update!
