So I just had day two of bootcamp and I've gained 3lbs.... what's going on?

Thats how I am.. LOL.

I didn't do anything for 4 weeks and lost weight every day. Ive been back to the gym for 5 days and gained 2 pounds.

Made 5 weeks yesterday and hit the dreaded stall. Even tho I knew in my head this will happen eventually and probably more than once....I got a bit emotional ...it didn't help reading about some folks having all this energy when I'm struggling . I'm feeling better and nausea is getting so much better and I'm keeping food down. Going to pick up the pace a bit with my exercise and cross my fingers it works. Loaded up at the commissary today with different type of Proteins that might change up things and help with my intake.

I am nauseated alot and the vomiting is slowing down. I dont have a scale because i would be a slave to it.

I try to be positive and look forward. I have had no energy for 2 years. The energy is not every day.

Stay hydrated and ramp up your Protein and add a little extra umph with exercising. You got this!

If my husband says "Oh my god, this is delicious! Here, have a bite" and then proceeds to push his fork in my face one more time, I may SCREAM!!!! Rant over!

Today was not a happy pouch day. Struggled with Water and Protein.

I was bad and grazed on strawberries today. Like 8 total. I did put some in my shake and ate the rest. I love fruit.< /p>

Will shake it off and restart tomorrow. :(

Aww man! Was doing great until the last few days. Never threw up or anything. Now I can't keep anything down. It hurts like holy hell! Contemplating going to the ER. I haven't been eating anything. This sucks! Don't have the cash to spend at the ER either. Boooooo...

Has anyone been experiencing achy muscles in their arms and legs? My left side arm and leg have been very achy in my forearm and calf and have also been falling asleep easily like bad circulation. Curious if anyone else has been experiencing this or knows if there is a specific Vitamin I should be increasing?

        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.

      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
