The Inevitable "I'm Not Losing Fast Enough" Thread



Recommended Posts

Heh. This is why weighing yourself too frequently is a bad idea...

I'm going to see the nutritionist this morning, and they're going to weigh me. So, since I wanted to get my weight before eating Breakfast and drinking a couple of pints of Water and putting on all my clothes (that's a few pounds right there), I stepped on the scale. ARGH... still not below 300 -- 301.0.

The big picture is that I'm still down 14 pounds in 15 days, so I shouldn't complain. It's just that I really, really wanted to be below 300!

ARRRRGG

day 18 without loosing an ounce (lost 13.2 lbs in 14 days after surgery). I have actually gained about 3/4 lb. I follow all th rules.... eat between500 and 800 cals... mostly Protein. I'm really starting to get scared. When I do start loosing is it going to be 1lb a week..... I could have done that and kept my stomach!!!!!!!!! (not really, or I suppose I would have)

GRRRRRRRR.... I know it will all work out but the people that I told I was getting the procedure done must be wondering if I'm "eating around" the sleeve. Its a little embarassing

Well with today's "coming to jebus" moment at the nutritionist -- realizing that I'm eating too much, too fast -- I'm sure that the weight will start coming off faster for me. I'll be going from 1200+ cals per day wolfed down to 800 calories per day chewed slowly and carefully.

Its hard to get used to eating so little. I have to really work on staying busy. I've let food rule my life for so long that I sometimes dont know what to do now that I don't need much of it.

You'll be a real looser for sure now

      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. 🤞
