Really Starting To Get Depressed....



Recommended Posts

I know about the stalls, I have hit a few so far and I didn't let it get to me however..... I am 9 weeks out and can not get below 200 pounds! I have been in this stall for 3 maybe even 4 weeks! I have tried increasing calories, walking longer, I am joining a gym Friday, hopefully that will help. (I have to get out of the house to with out out I just keep thinking about all the other stuff I could be doing like laundry, organizing closets...etc) I am just venting. I know it will happen eventually but I am starting to freak myself out! Lol thanks for listening!

I wouldnt be surprised if you werent losing inches instead of pounds, making your clothes fit differently. My clothes were always my biggest reminder when the scale was being fickle.

It's likely Water weight. Did you eat anything salty or high sodium? Your weight will fluxuate a little, just keep the faith and get in your Protein, Water and exercise and you will break the stall.

I ate the usual stuff and even went over my Protein goal. I haven't started working out yet. Maybe if I start a walking routine till I am cleared for the gym it will help.

Don't let it freak you out search "stalls" and read just how common this is.

It isn't as simple as calories in/fat off...we can hold onto materials inside our body as we burn the calories.

Go get a tight tshirt, and take a pic, save it on your phone, do it abotu every 10 days! you WILL see the difference.

And ... you guys are still early out... Focus on your plan and try not to stress.. Stress is counterproductive and can actually impede weight loss... We are going to do this!!! Take it one day at a time.. it's a journey, not a race!!! Trust me, I've been there and many days I have to remind myself that I need to do what I'm supposed to do and enjoy the journey....

Remember, a journey, not a race!

I've been hovering just above 200 forEVER! Ok, well the last month. I know clothes are getting looser so I know things are shifting around and I was at 201 yesterday morning.

I have to go in and see my jerk PCP for my annual check-up/check-in and I'd really like to be below 200 on his scale... so I've been putting off going in! I got my blood work done this morning though so it'll need to be in the next couple weeks. Oh the joy!

I feel ya! It's a huge drag but it's gotta start coming off sooner or later!

        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
