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!

Stay off the scale for a month. Trust me you will be well under 200 :) stay calm. You got this!!

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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
