Really Starting To Wonder If Am Meant To Be The Skinny Girl?



Recommended Posts

I have been post op for 3 months and everyone is saying they can see the weight loss in my face and in my belly. Im ok with that but i tell ya i have been fluctuating in between -37 -40 lbs for weeks. i have had slip ups but im a really active person. i find myself getting tired easy but at the same time i have more energy if that makes sense. im just frustrated and i know all the rules and i know i break some of them but man alive. i eat nxt to nothing. I have noticed this past week that i dont get that stuck feeling as soon as i swallow any more. so i eat to fast and have made myself sick 3 times. lol i know i know sloww down. take your time chew your food. i have had the worst head hunger you could imagine lately. so i guess back to basics Water water water and Protein. ugh! anyway thats my gripe for the evening. sometimes i think that they nvr took enough of my stomach. maybe im just obssessing. anyway night all and thanks for listening.

I have these days tooooooo. Today, kinda bored and guess what? I have a lot of head hunger. LOL I need to devise a plan to get rid of the head hunger.

Your body is probably shifting and changing in inches. If we think about it. We didn't gain the weight over night, so it will take time to loose it. But, we have time. You will lose the weight, be patience and give yourself a lot of credit. This is a hard journey on our bodies.

Have you measured yourself? If not, this is the perfect time to take measurements of your body. You can see the inches dissipating really quickly. Your body is working over time now, so sit back and enjoy the ride! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! ;)

I second Dorrie, particularly on breaking out the tape measure. Try hard to embrace this journey and however long it takes... It's on this path that you're going to find the real you. And, try to be the "healthy" girl rather than the "skinny" girl. I know this is mere semantics but I believe in framing and it is rather freeing to focus on healthy rather than skinny.

Best of luck!

Oh hun, you are seeing results and maybe possibly sabatoging your weight loss? Are you tracking your food? It is a real possibility that you are not getting enough calories and this can cause a serious stall. Body then thinks you are starving and will hold all weight.

Reevaluate all of the possibilities. You can do this because you are strong. Hang in there, we are here to cheer you onto your goal weight.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
