Scale frustration



Recommended Posts

Do you ever think there is a point when your body says I'm not going to let any more lbs go? I'm so frosted I want to loose the last 15 lbs and my body won't give it to me.

I have had a few stalls and it is a little frustrating, but I know it will come. I have been having to heal myself and at most times have been unable to eat and sometimes drink.

My body has gone into starvation, I am sure. I just wish it would go out! When I lose, I lose basically a pound a day. Seeing those same numbers every time I get on the scale is discouraging at times.

I bottomed out after seven months. I maintained that weight for a year. Then I contracted a 7-day stomach flu. I found it hard to eat. Lost a pound a day for a week. Then about a month later, I lost my taste for food for a few days. So between these two events, I lost a total of 10 pounds. I decided to maintain this new level and have done so for around 2 months.

When you are at bottom, there is another concern. It is that your body no longer has the protective reserve of fat to rely on should you suddenly get sick and lose weight.

Point taken.....just stinks to do everything right and see no results. I really think my body just won't give anymore up

I am only 4 months out and feel like I am at a plateau. Does this happen often in the journey? I started working out with a personal trainer and the weight really slowed down. I'm freaking out a bit.

      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.
