Still Waiting someone HELP



Recommended Posts

Someone Help me, I'm 3 weeks post op. and hit a stand still at 12 days post op still there!! My diet as of now mainly consists of split pea Soups, healthy broccoli and cheddar Soup, eggs with cheese, Protein Shakes and diabetic yogurt and of course Water. Someone please reassure me that I'm doing everything right and for me some reassurance that I will start losing weight. I'm sick of the food I'm eating and I'm so scared I had this surgery and its not working lol and I know Rome wasn't built in a day...

I'm two weeks post op and I'm in the exact same spot you are, I have lost 17 lbs and haven't moved from there. I'm hoping that its just my body getting used to all the changes and that it will get on board with the losing weight thing we got going on now lol.

Well I'm officially down 21 pounds! But that all happened in 11 days after surgery. Then it stopped, hoping too it will adjust and jump back on the losing bandwagon. What are you eating?

Just started tuna fish and scrambled eggs today, mainly been eating yogurt and mashed potatoes. I go back to work Sunday so hopefully walking around more will also help my cause...

Almost everyone hits a plateau within a couple weeks of surgery I hit mine at 3 weeks post op. Keep following your doctors instructions. It will work, the scale will move. Make sure you are getting in all your Protein and Fluid and make sure you are MOVING. Take a walk everyday. It really helps.

You are doing great! I have hit several stalls over my 4months and when people told me "you still lose inchs even when the numbers on the scale don't change" I thought NO WAY! but I was at 185lbs and in a size 16 jeans for 3weeks. I was noticing the jeans getting a little loose every day. Finally I went to get a pair of new jeans and had to go back out and get a size 12. Wow was I surprised! I am now down to 177lbs but that 8lbs was just this week! Keep up the good work!

I stalled after 4weeks and 2 days (but who was counting?....). I just started losing last week. Just like rest of you. It will start moving. Keep moving, get all Protein and Water in!!

        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
