Need help getting back on track



Recommended Posts

I had surgery at the end of May 2012 .Everything went well. I was losing weight about 10 lb a month. In Nov i was told I had pneumonia so I was not able to work out. I work as a soccer coach. First day back out on the field I hurt my back. So again no working out. They keep putting me on steroids. I have lost 70lb but for the last month I have lost nothing and gained 3 lb. I am so scared to gain it all back. I fell that I'm eating more then I used to. How do I get out of being stuck even if I can't work out

Jackiemac- I would suggest going back to basics. Eat what i think we all ate the first couple of weeks. Protein shakes an 4oz meals. Can you walk at all? Maybe yoga?

Go online and search for exceecise for non-mobile people. I'm sure you will find something.

Hope all goes well. Keep us posted

Davell did it work? I'm in my first real stall too and thinking of doing a reset lol. I don't want to

Panic because I'm sure my body is just catching up but panic sets in and I think "omg this is all I'm gonna lose?" Lol

      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.

      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.
