I'm Worh The Pain



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone my name is April I've got my band on 6/5/12 and so for I've lost 100 pounds :-)

I walk 4 miles a day and workout with a personal trainer. It's hard and I have to watch what I eat but I'm happy I made this life change. Somedays I don't feel like I'm doing a enough but thank God my hubby cheers me on. Right now I'm stuck and have not lost anything in the last two weeks but I can not give up and I will not give up

Congratulations April!!!

Yes, from what I hear at times after losing a lot of weight you will plateau! Now what you have to do is start playing around with your calories and fat grams. You can try 'uping' your calories one day, going back to your normal caloric intake and then try it again over to see if that works. How many fat grams are you getting in per day? Remember the body needs healthy fat to burn!

I try and get between 25-30 grams of healthy fat per day (according to my age and weight). Also, remember Protein is always first and important to burn fat as well. Have you tried tracking everything you eat daily?? if not you should do so, there are several wonderful apps out there such as "myfitnesspal" and 'Loseit (my personal fav). Its really the only way you will know how much you are eating on a daily basis so that you can adjust and tweak to make it work.

Best of luck,

WOW!!!! Congratulations! !!

I've heard others talk about upping the calories for a day, back to normal & lower than normal for a day, then back to regular calories again. They say it jump starts that plateau.

Good luck, I know you'll continue to do well!

April, wow you look incredible! Congratulations on your success so far. Iris so frustrating when the scale doesn't move. Have you taken your measurements? I take mine once a month and i have found that when the scale doesn't move the inches do. Keep doing what you are doing, you will get there.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
