Recommended Posts

10 days and still the same...*dum de dum*....that sucks. I'm going to my room to have a tantrum where I throw things around that don't make a big mess or break anything...lol....since I have to pick it all up afterwards....guess I'm not at my sweet spot...my doctor was so sure this last fill would do for a bit....oh well...guess I'm going back in.

I'm done whining now...g'nite all.

you really think that because the scale hasn't changed in 10 days that you are due for a fill? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. It is possible that you may be losing inches throughout your body....it isn't always the scale that is the tell tale sign. Ten days doesn't seem near enough of a plateau to have a fill....migawd, if so, I would have had a dozen fills by now!!!

IMHO.

Just be patient...your body needs time to adjust to itself. It is an important part of the journey...food, rest...you know? Your body will do some shrinking, even when the scale doesn't move. It's normal.

Are you measuring yourself? Please, try to be patient. It is so hard, but getting overfilled can possibly lead to big problems that will sooooo slow you down in the long run.

It's okay to be frustrated...we've all been there!

I think it's mostly just taking stock of everything that makes me think maybe I need a little fill and I think that the weigh in was kind of just the clincher that confirmed that. I have noticed that I'm not staying full for as long as I usually do and as such am eating a little bit more frequently than I was....though not in huge quantities....geez it gets hard sometimes to not over analize every single little thing that I'm doing and to not start freaking out that I'm gonna be one of the ones that just doesn't get the weight off even with the assistance of the band....I know I have to relax....I just put a TON of pressure on myself to get it done....lol...I need to chill out.

Thanks for the encouragement and the little bit of Sass from Yoda.....guess I'll leave it for a bit and see how it goes.

LOL

sorry if I was a wee bit "sassy" Time2Live!!! *snickers*

Patience is key though...I mean....I know how you feel, been there...(still am there most of the time!).....like you I seem to diminish my accomplishments and look at what I still have left to do (not just in the weight aspect....many parts of my life).....logically I know I should be happy and thankful with my progress so far....and I actually am VERY happy about it but like you....I want more and I want it yesterday!! LOL.

Lookin' at your ticker.....maaaaaaaaaaaaan, 58 lbs since July!!!! When you stop to think about it, that is GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!!!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
