What If I Fail? 8 Days Out And Feeling A Little Blue.



Recommended Posts

first off.....yes i know i shouldn't weigh myself everyday....(but seeing the scale go down makes my day!)

second...yes i know i should be getting x amt of Protein everyday

with that being said...my current Protein shakes are making me sick. I can't stomach them so i got the powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and im sipping on a few other Protein Shakes i had from pre op. Definitely not getting anywhere near the recommended goal....eating a couple teaspoons of Soup....little bit of Jello...maybe a popsicle and have been doing very well with the Water intake the past couple days...

well i was 251.2 or so wednesday morn. I was hoping for 240's thursday morning so i hopped on the scale , 250.2, i figured this morning 249.....NOPE 250.6 WHY ON EARTH DID I GAIN!? Even though im not getting my protein in, im barely eating...how did i gain? SO i just peaked before bed and im 252. I'm just not getting it. I'm drinking as much as i can. Is it the protein thats changing everything up?

--i do have my TOM (but it came on b/c of the surgery)

-I have been walking and doing house work...light house work

SO whats up?!?!?!?!?!

Congrats on ur sleeve, the reason for the gain is because u need to flush all those fluids out of ur system, it takes a few days, and u do have to get in ur protein, but that shouldn't be ur focus right now, u need to heal and take in what u can, my first few days I got in maybe 20 ounces and then progressed to my goals. You have to be patient, u will get there, trust me ;)

Body weight will fluxauate throughout the day, also the 1st week or 2 is usually Water weight that you are losing. And usually right around 3 weeks you hit a stall. I have found it easier for me to set a day and only get on the scale once a week, since i had surgery on Wednesday 1 weigh myself every wednesday, sometimes i will cheat and do an extra day or 2, but i only write it down and keep track on wednesday, as a whole i have never gained any weight from week to week, but occasionaly fluxuate up and down through out the week.

How long ago were you sleeved??? Your body can and will fluctuate up and down on it's own accord. You are certainly not gaining fat so it has to be Water weight. It will come off very soon. At this stage you just have to worry about drinking your water....walk walk walk....and try to get in your Protein. Don't worry about the weight yet. It will come off.

Thanks guys :) i just didn't know if i was sabotaging myself but not having the goal Protein. I gained the first time i weighed in after surgery but steadily went down since so, i wasnt sure if it was b/c of the protein. I'm going to do weds weigh in's too but its so hard to not step on the scale every morning lol I was so close to the 240's i could taste it ...it feels like such a teeze :(

Blue raspberry and fruit usually, they have a watermelon too. U can drink them straight up but I mix one bullet with three cups of Water so I get my Protein and Water at the same time.

        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
