Boohoo :-( I'm Back In The 200S



Recommended Posts

Had my 1 month follow up visit with the doc today and his scale says I weigh 200. My last weigh in on my scale a week ago said 198. I'm a little disappointed, upset even. :angry:

But on a lighter note, he gave me the green light to start working out so after I left his office I went and joined a gym. That's worth something even if I have only lost 2 pounds in 3 weeks right?

My doc's scale always weighs heavier than mine at home. I do my weekly tracking based upon my scale so I don't really worry about what his says. My appointments are usually in the afternoon while my weigh-ins are in the morning (naked, after I've had a BM if possible!!) and of course I'm clothed at his weigh-in.

Don't sweat it, your loss is great!

Thanks Indymom.

I checked my scale when I got home and they are about the same. Oh well! I know almost everyone has a stall at 3 weeks and I'm sure starting back on solid foods my body is still wondering what the heck is going on because I keep changing what I'm eating.

Thanks missmeow ^_^ I definitley agree! I usually weigh myself in the morning but the dr. appt. was in the afternoon after eating and drinking Water all day. And I know I am not getting enough Fiber in but it isn't for lack of trying! Some of the fiber supplements are awful!

I weigh myself at home absolutely nekkid so the doctor's scale is going to weigh heavier. I just subtract for clothes.

Lol, yeah me too. I figured the doctors scale would be a couple pounds more but since I haven't been weighing myself I was hoping I'd lost some weight. I'm not sure, maybe this matters...? I looked back at my food entries in MyFitnessPal and I realized I selected the wrong Protein Shake for almost a week so instead of counting 30g it was only counting 10g. So, I ended up going over the daily Protein requirement for several days. My doctor says to meet 60g but I've been trying to do up to 80g to hopefully avoid Hair loss.< /p>

        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.

      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
