I think that it's good that you're seeing the doctor. I have had a metallic taste in my mouth, but it was because I was in ketosis, and burning fat. It must be very discouraging to be working so hard--on top of the surgery--and still not losing. I hope you get it all sorted out soon. :wub:

I'm no expert, for sure, but I think it might be an idea to stop exercising until you've seen the doctor, too. Take a well-earned rest! :)

milixxa thank you so much for the encourageing words.

ms ive been drinking 100oz of Water a day. i thought it was the pressure also but it went back up and i was still feeling that way. the metallic taste just started today. im praying my body will start releasing fat soon. but i might have to reduce my workout from 5-6 days to 3 every other day. just not eating enough for that type of workout.

Protein makes such a difference for me. I feel dizzy and my blood sugar levels drop sometimes when I am not getting consistent protein. Keep up with the hydration. Glad you are seeing the doctor too. Keep us updated!

      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
