I've been stuck at the same general weight for like a month. I don't know what to do. I try to track my food on my fitness pal and I don't go over calories (1200). I've been doing Water aerobics twice a week and training on the couch to 5K for the past 6 weeks. I'm jogging for 20 minutes at a time but the scale just doesn't move. What the heck is going on? Should I do strength training, more cardio, eat more, eat less? This is why I could never lose weight on my own LOL, I never knew what to do!

I know once I cut the carbs out and stuck w mainly Protein I started dropping. Carbs and me do not do well. Now, I do have fruit and certain veggies and Beans. I just stay away from the bread, chips, crackers, etc. And strenght training is absolutley necessary!

I'm one of the lucky? ones that never experienced problems with any kind of food. I'm definitely restricted but can easily eat anything. Consequently I find that I have to pay a lot of attention to mindless eating. I'm still happy where I am but realize it would be very easy to fall back into bad habits. I have made many good changes. I eat many more vegetables than I ever have before. Also I had frozen Greek yogurt last night instead of ice cream. I was able to eat a half cup and be happy. I also got 9 grams of Protein. Too much sugar came with it as well but I still count it as a win.

I haven't actually started my periods again yet. I asked about it at my last doctors visit and he said everyone is different and not to worry. At 48 I'd actually be just fine if it never comes back.

Does anyone notice that people treat them better since you've lost a big chunk of weight?? Specifically men hold doors for me, randomly start up conversations, let me cut in front of them etc. haha I mean I am not small (size 14) but its like night and day. :wub:

I agree with you.

Before I always felt like I got the EYES DOWN SILENCE pass by quickly and maybe she won't talk to me feeling. It was like I was invisible!!

That's just wrong!!!!

It just proves the point that the more attractive you are in this society they more you are accepted by others. I'm sure it plays a bug part in every aspect if our lives. From dating, social groups even down to landing a great job.

It's really sad when you think how vein out society is. A persons weight or handicap shouldn't be the first thing we judge people by.

Because we are all beautiful people!!!!

6 month follow up today.

I never know what to ask the man. What are some good questions for a 6 month appointment?

I'm feeling good and weight loss is slow but moving.

My Doctor is not personable he only answers direct questions... Nothing more.

I need questions.

      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
