I am going to appologize to anyone that had something rude or hurtful to say about my last post. I am sorry that I went on a rant about not getting a response. I was having a bad day and when those days come up I turn to this board for the support I need to get me past whatever is going on.. I do read other post and even more so now that people have made it known that I should do that before posting anything. This is a forum for support right? I needed support and I felt like it wasn't there when I needed it. Now that I look back at it. I shouldn't have posted something that was going to cause such a fit. My remark about "stupid questions" was just that a remark. We all say things that we don't mean to say at times "that's life". My stall has passed and I have lost 3 lbs over the past week. I changed NOTHING!! I kept doing what I had been doing since the beginning and it passed on it own. Thanks for the Positve Support from those of you that provided it.

Glad to hear your dropped 3 more! It's always nice to break a stall but sadly, they do happen from time to time.

Yes, you're right. There is an enormous wealth of information reading this board.

I hope you saw that I too apologized for my snappy remark back- your post just hit me wrong when so many people give so much and I had see your problem addressed so thoroughly. Still, I should not have come down on you- we are a support system and that was SO not supportive!

Glad you have broken your stall- and you have lots of tips now should you reach another one.

What is a big happy family without a few spats here and there? We all have our bad days and I was happy to see how many people jumped in to comfort you instead of the flaming that would have occurred on a lot of forums! :grouphug:

Glad to hear you broke your stall. I find that if I just keep going it breaks. I have also found significant (about 3-5 ibs) weight gain my TOM and a short stall during ovulation. It is like clockwork for me.

MommyTawnie,

Your weight loss is fantastic. Keep doing what you are doing. This forum is supposed to be for support. However, people are emotional creatures. A little vent now and then never hurt anyone, as long as we all come back to our senses fairly quick .LOL

Have a Great Day,

Michelle

Glad your stall broke, glad you didn't change anything, glad it's over and hope you know that you can vent about them here. I think it's an emotional journey, and if you don't get replies, contact someone via the private message system. I've always been quick to reply to messages, and like I said, I can't see every posts, it's just not possible. If you thought the replies were negative, I apologize, but my reply was intended to be helpful to let you know that stalls are discussed on here, and if your post doesn't get the replies you're looking for then seek out the information.

Support comes in many forms, your initial post was pretty much telling us that have been here for almost 2 years contributing to this forum day in and day out, that we suck because your post got lost in the 200 plus new posts that hit this forum daily. I'm really sorry that a forum of several thousand members wasn't there for you, but in reality, I've always told anyone and everyone they could contact me privately if they needed something.

      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.
