Broke the stall (slowly)



Recommended Posts

I am in my 5th week post-op and my body is starting to grudgingly give up the weight after stalling at 3 weeks. I increased my Protein intake and walking time and I am losing about 1-2 lbs per week. This morning I saw 239.

I had a bad stall as well. I arrived at 180lbs from 220 and the scale would not move. I picked up my exercise to twice a day 30mins in the morn and 30 mins in the evening. i got rid of the scale temporarily but before I did, I was another 2lbs down...Don't get discouraged.

I hit a stall at 2 1/2 months out. It was my first stall and it was very depressing. Yes I knew it would happen, but having it happen made it real. So I put away the scales and said forget you I'm not going to go by numbers for a while and see how that goes. I continued eating the way I had been eating the past 2 1/2 months and stepped up my activities. After 2 weeks of not weighing I decided to give it a go, and Holy cow I stepped on the scales and seen 183!! I finally broke through 190 without even realizing it. Don't stress yourself out over little things like stalls I know I won't. The scales will eventually start moving again have faith!! I'm ready for my 3 month post op visit now.. I want to see how much I have lost going by the doctors scales. Considering they show I weigh more then my home scales.. LoL

      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.
