Halloween challenge



Recommended Posts

I don't weigh in that frequently and I am currently not setting any official goals...however I am getting ready to do a 40 Days Challenge with one of the yoga studios I practice at, so maybe I can keep track through the challenge. It end on October 17th and begins next Sunday so it does make me curious about the weight loss, although this is more a celebration about having full use of my arm again.

and ANYTHING Halloween...lol

I have not had surgery nor even been to my consultation yet, but know I will need to be losing prior so count me in.

Why don't you pick a reasonable goal of 1-2 lbs/ week and anything above that will be icing on the cake. This early out from your surgery you will more than likely lose quicker because your eating liquids or full liquids... I'm now about seven weeks out and I know I did, but I did have the dreaded 3rd week stall and it lasted just about 2 weeks!!! It's insane that you can be eating so little (500-800 cal/ day) and not lose weight. Anyway one day 2wks after it started I dropped like 7 lbs in one day. Just be patient when it happens( if it happens) because you are not doing anything wrong it's just one of those things. Good luck!! I guess my point of this post is be reasonable when setting your goal and don't set yourself up for failure and as a result discouraging yourself.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond to me. I know the limited food consumption is gonna be something to get use to. I appreciate your encouragement. I will make realistic goals for myself. I will do my personal weigh in and my subtraction :)

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
