Surgery april 8...excited!



Recommended Posts

Aghhh! Stupid stalls! I'm stuck again only an extra 0.5kg lost :( Frustrating. Trying not to revert back to bad habits.

Hey there Kaz, I was actually thinking bout you today and wondering how you were doing. Ahhh mazing by the way!- .5 is still .5 take that and add it to the rest it will all add up in due course.

I've learnt early on to remember not every time i overate or ate wrong foods did I see immediate weight gain but sometimes I did and sometimes it came on slowly but eventually it did of course - therefore on the flip side, I expect I should see some immediate losses, some slow ones and some stalls.... Just coming out of a stall and slow loss these last three weeks.

Keep going strong - and remember all the good advice and support you give to everyone else :-)

Thanks, I needed that. Yes, slipped off the bandwagon into a chocolate lake again. Not the answer! Have to keep reminding myself of the money and pain I've put myself through for this; I'm determined again! X
Hi Kazyy! I think we are both walking the same path but we will not be defeated! I know stalls are frustrating but we have to push forward. One of my tools is to only weigh myself once a month or I just wait until I go to the doctor. I took someone else's strategy about getting more Protein in. I also let my clothes tell me if I am losing. I bought a dress on 4/25 that was too small for me (it was bulging on all sides, lol). Yesterday was my second time wearing it and it is now too big. I didn't realize how big it was until I saw myself in a photo my friend took. So although the numbers on the scale aren't necessarily going down, my body is obviously getting smaller. So.....take it slow, keep eating healthy, exercising and getting in your Water and Protein and you will do just fine.

Thanks Miss B! I put a dress on today and was tripping over it with less boobs and bum to keep it up lol. You're right, I'm clearing out clothes already. Lost a couple of pounds, probably just the stress of doing school reports haha. Thanks for the encouragement! We will succeed!

My surgery was also April 8th and since then I have stalled twice. Both times I have tried to change what I eat to make sure I'm getting enough Protein and or Water and that got the scale moving the first time but not the second so then I tried something different I tried eating a lot of very small meals throughout the day to keep my metabolism going all day and since then the scale has been moving without a problem. Let's hope it stays that way. Good luck to everyone!!

Hi Daisy. I'm glad to hear the scale started moving again. I know it's frustration when we hit a stall but as you see it's the little things that make things change. I am now down 37 lbs since surgery and have 50 lbs to go to hit goal. I am enjoying my journey. I wish you the best of luck on your journey.

Hi Nia,

I'm down 41lbs or 19 kg. still not exercising, so I can't complain lol! I feel good except for being tired but I'm down to size 16s and even some 14 dresses. Got the school camp in a few weeks, hope my energy keeps up for the kids lol, probably drop weight then too as we won't be stopping much! I'm thinking of it like boot camp for me! See you added me as a friend, cool. I'm still getting my head around how to use this site.

Congrats on your success so far! You go girl! Can't wait till I'm in onederland with ya.

Well hello there. Way to go! It seems that you are doing quite well, especially since you aren't exercising. Don't you worry, you will be in Onederland in no time. Keep up the good work.

I am currently down 58 pounds in total. I'm trying to get down to 125 so I still have about 35 pounds more to lose.

      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
