Going back to the beginning......



Recommended Posts

So......tomorrow I will be 6 weeks post-op and I am gaining weight instead of losing. The first 4 weeks I lost 24lbs and then stalled. I have gained 4lbs in the past week. I am going to start over from the full liquid stage to see if I can lose some of this weight. Not discourged, but a little disappointed. I am doing light exercise 3 x week (treadmill, eliptical), nothing heavy. People are telling me that I look good, but I hate that darn scale!!! Thanks for letting me vent. Have a great day all and keep losing!!

I suggest doing a half hour or whatever you can in aerobic exercise.

You might still be stalling. As you say, go back to the basics to make sure you're not making any poor choices. You might try logging your food with www.myfitnesspal.com. Are you getting your 64+ ounces of Fluid in every day? If not, you should focus on that too. And remember, stalls happen -- don't let them derail your program. Good luck!!!

I am using myfitnesspal. It really does help. This past weekend has not been the best LOL. But I do need to focus on my Water intake. I feel like I can't remember the last time I had close to 64 ounces of water. I am getting my Protein in via Premier Protein. I know it's the water issue. Thanks for responding!

I just ran up and down 4 flights of steps at work during my break! Anything helps...when I go home I am going to increase the speed on the treadmill! I have to keep the faith!!! Thanks

I am just over 6 weeks and I am going through the same feelings you are. I was getting my Protein and calories. I was taking all my Vitamins. My Water intake was not even close to 64 oz. So I called my NUT, and she said I have to do more exercise. So last week I started to walk 30 minutes on the treadmill. By no means like a trackstar. I weighed myself this morning and I finally lost weigt again. Just hang in there, hopefully you will find your nitch.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
