I'm so annoyed! I gained 3lbs! I know it's rebound from being sick (kidney infection) But it's really disheartening to see :-(

So back to the grind charting food (just in case I'm screwing myself somewhere along the line!) thinking about cutting all non-produce carbs, I have my 12wk followup in 10 days hoping to be back on track and losing well again.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. . and yes it is very annoying. . . I've been at the same weight give or take 5 lbs for the past 6 months. . . but i look at it this way, at least you've lost weight and your 1/2 way there. . . that's more then you could have said about yourself a year ago. . . good for you and keep up the great work. . . yes cut out some carbs, increase the Proteins, and Water intake and see what happens. . . I'm not a preacher about exercise but if you do that . . . THEN GOOD FOR YOU. . . Its better then what i do :)

Good luck!!!

It's probably just Water weight apple :) You will be fine, there is no way that you gained 3lbs of fat you just aren't taking in enough calories for that. On my 1 month post op weigh in (been in a stall too) says I gained 3lbs and I put it on my status because I have to be honest with myself but 4 days later and 2 of those three are gone. Like TOD says you have accomplished so much don't beat yourself up. Glad you are feeling better.

I hope your completely over your illness and are feeling better :)

I'm at the same place with my weight and I've been at a stand still for the past couple weeks.

I'm not going to let it get me down, and don't you let it get you down.

We are going to do this, and nothing is going to stop us!

Apple, I'm glad you're recovering from your kidney infection. That's a lot for your body. I bet as your energy climbs and your body heals it will start cooperating on the other front! I know people here gave you some good tips. Hang in there. You'll do it!!!!!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
