I seem to have stalled with my weight loss. Is anyone else going through this?

I am working out, and staying at about 500 to 600 calories a day.

Can now say I am an official October 2012 bandster. All went well today. Dr was great. He said my liver shrinkage made his job easier. I ask for a rebate and he chuckled. Not needing pain meds at all. Little nausea.

I have a few pallet projects too! I love the turquoise people are using now! Boyfriend hates headboards so I've decided that I'll do an on the wall faux headboard type thing' date=' but it's not attached so HA! LOL. Move closer and go junk shopping with me! Lol. My mom is already collecting jars for me for other random things! Haha. I'm also waiting for someone to remodel their home and trash their shutters so I can make something with those too! Haha

      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.
