9 months out....slow loser



Recommended Posts

I'm trying not to have a pity here be dang! I've been a slow loser from the beginning and have stalled several times for weeks at a time. Just frustrated! I have only lost 60 lbs IN 9 MONTHS. I see everyone else having such success. I'm giving it one more shot with working out and Protein and Water and all the right things, if nothing happens this time maybe this is the size I'm suppose to be.

Sleeved 3April 2012 and loss is 70lb. I know it is hard when you look at some postings on here and see the weight just drop off people in a short time but most of the time you do not know the full story.

I know my loss is slow but I am OK with that (it took more than 9 months to go on) and I am eating in a normal pattern (just less), eat out and have treats. I have joined a gym and my shape is changing.

When I started this journey I thought it would take me 1 year to lose the weight (100lb) but now I think it will take 15 months.

I find it hard to get all my Water in and I don't think this helps with the rate of loss. Give it one more big push, Protein first the veg then carbs, drink and exercise and see how it goes. Good luck.

Baseballmom, I think I have finally broke my stall! For the past week I have been working out, sometimes twice a day making sure that I burn at least 700 or more calories. I'll go from treadmill to circuit to the elliptical to insanity!!! In addition I'm having a Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and fish for dinner and a salad if I have room. Oh and I'm drinking way more Water. I'm now down to 207 hoping to onederland very soon!!! Good luck hope this helps!

        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
