What do you do with a disappointing weight loss?



Recommended Posts

I weighed in today with a 3 lb weight gain for the last month. Prior to this I lost 6 lbs over 2 weeks.

I am naturally disappointed but I was not perfect.

How do you regroup after a disappointing weigh in?

Me? Imam having wine tonight and will regroup for the next 6week weigh in.

Pick yourself up and dust yourself off! You are averaging 6 pounds per month. That is awesome! You will have setbacks from time to time. Don't let it get you down. Sometimes our bodies regroup and take a break. Keep doing the right things most of the time and it will pick up again.

Keep up the good work!!

I agree with cocoa! I let it get the best of me for tooooooooo long and got a point where I did not care. Now i am back on track and am wondering why i let it get to me!! Sometimes you plateau and sometimes you lose a lot! just get back on and stay positive! Good luck with your journey!welldoneclap.gif

It happens to the best of us and I think you have already been given the best advice in the posts before mine. Our bodies vary in weight for so many different reasons, a 3 pound gain could be the fact that you weighed yourself at the wrong time or had a late dinner!! Don't be discouraged, just keep your head up and know you are heading in the right direction - your progress has been great, keep up the good job!

Good luck! :rolleyes:

I usually add this experience to these types of posts. I was tired yesterday. But my losses went is starts and stops. I lose 1 lb in a week, then be the same for one, lose 2, up 1, same, same, down 3, up 2, down 1, same, same, same, down 4.

For me, it was not steady, but the trend was down! I averaged 3/4 of a pound per week. Lower than the "advertised" 1-2 pounds per week. But once I figured out how my body let go of the weight, it was all good!!

Just please don't say phooey, I'm going to have a milkshake! Follow your band rules. You said you were not perfect. That's OK. But is it a sign that you might need a fill? Were you more hungry? Perhaps it is time to see your surgeon for a touch up fill.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
