Getting over it...



Recommended Posts

Every now and then I get hungry. I look and all I seem to want is the bad things or a lot of the good things, either way its not going to work out. I have to literally stop, breathe, take a look in the mirror at my 50lb loss and get over myself. Is there anyone else that has these moments? If so, how do you work through yours?

YESSSS!!!! When I get those feelings I break them off with a really good Protein shake. I'm 2 months out with 42 lbs lost so far, and I regret every bad food choice that I have ever made. But no, you are not alone out here!!!! Stay strong!

Almost the same way. I stop, take a breath, tell myself it's not worth it and remind myself of the 66lbs I've lost and DO NOT want back. :)

I've been going through it a lot lately. I just started trying to time myself so I don't keep on eating. I'm a stress eater. As soon as something goes wrong the hunger kicks in. I'm also having a hard time drinking Water.

I should have taken that step before having a second serving of lunch today. Ugh. I need to realize that self-sabotage is NEVER worth it!

I usually also drink a Protein Shake so I don't eat bad. I was sleeved Dec 11, 2012

Down 50 at times the hunger seems so bad

I feel I've done something wrong and my stomach got bigger

Anyone feel that?

Thanks...I absolutely love Water and now I'm starting to curb my appetite with Isopure. I definitely don't want that weight back though. I'm only two weeks out and have lost a good amount and there is no way I'm going back down that road again. So hunger binges have to take the back seat...lol

Lets just say this has been a week of hell. And nothing feels better than food. I've completely fallen apart and seem to want to munch on something every 2 hours if not earlier. I hate turning to food when I stress but I can't control it.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
