I'm getting REALLY frustrated!

I've been flirting with the same 2-3 lbs I lost 2 weeks ago..the scale wont budge! I'm eating well, drinking my Water and even hit the gym several times in the past 2 weeks! TOM isnt due for another week... I'm wondering if its starting to add the lbs early! UUGHH!!!!

Maureen...yes we will never forget. I was on the australian lapband blog today and they made some really comforting statements about 911.

Sandra - your hubbly...did you tell him where you'll put that foot!

Thank you Weazer.. you're right. My clothes fit much looser.. most of them I dont even need to unbutton to take off.. but you know how it is.. you really dont feel a sense of accomplishment until you see it on the scale. Very frustrating!

That's why i'm scared to get on one! I have a dermatologist appt later today. I will hide my eyes if they put me on a scale! I am still getting compliments each day, but it is always on my cloths. I don't think most people are noticing the weight loss..just that something is different. I unfortunatly suffer from too much pride. I don't like it when people comment on my weight, unless they do it when we are alone. I just don't like explaining to a group of people that I don't know or am not close with how I am losing wght. It is just so personal to me. Maybe I am too sensitive!

I am still to sensitive.

NSV - NSV - Major NSV........

Lastnight, my DH was watching TV. I was in the other room cleaing out my closet, because that morning I was have a real hard time finding something to wear to work. I have been inbetween sizes and some thing too big and some things just a little bit tight. I was trying on clothes, and walking the the living room and asking what did he think. The first few time he said "That looks nice" the next few times "Wow, you look great" well this went on for awile, I then I came in the room with this SIZE 12 sun dress, (it was cut down kinda low in the front), he said "Honey, you look fine........................." No more TV watching for him or trying on clothes for me..... LOL. I just love my band (and my DH)

Weazer- I also do not tell people that I have been banded. Only a select handful of people know... When asked I just tell them that I'm watching what I eat and exercising...which is all true.

Laura- WONDERFUL for you!!

Melissa, I was having the same problem. My scale droped to 224 a few weeks ago and I was beyond excited. Then it crept back up to 227 even though I continued to work out and eat right. A few days ago I dropped down to 222! Just when I thought me and the scale were going to have it out once and for all. I am hoping to get another week or two of continued loss before it does this again. I hate it. But all the while my clothes have been looser and looser so I am happy no matter what the scale says.

Thanks Ragdoll..

I think it may because TOM is nearing. This afternoon I've noticed that twinge of cramping I usually get a couple days before.

Melissa,

Don't you just love the backhanded compliments? My dh will come out with them now and then. I think they honestly don't know any better, they don't think. (or as the saying goes, they speak before they think).

I also think it just doesn't come out right. My dh thinks he's so funny sometimes. Ha! But just know how great you look in your new wedding dress that will have to be taken in!! That will put a smile on your face.

PS I know all about those 2 - 3 pounds. Last Wed I was at 200, but just can't seem to reach onderland. What's up with that? Up 3 pounds, down 2. Geez.

Also, whoever mentioned those ff refried Beans with cheese, I love you!! I just heated some up (in the microwave, as recommended), and they are so yummy. Never had them before, but I definitely will again.

Cindy

      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.
