My pooch is gross



Recommended Posts

I feel as if my pooch is getting bigger. I am doing everything right.

Exercising and eating right. I started my journey Jan 28 225 lbs and I weighed in at 188 today. I can't seem to get passed 188. Please any help would be great.

I feel you. But I had twins almost 30 years ago and have accepted that I will need plastic surgery to get rid of it. However right now, I'm loving my smaller body! I put on a Maidenform shaper tank or some high waisted shaper underwear and get my skinnier self going. Get a longline tank for now. The pooch will shrink some...depending on your age and skin elasticity. No hope for mine...but it's ok.

Congrats on the weight loss, bet you look fab in clothes!

Sounds to me like you've just hit the dreaded "first stall". Most people will experience this a few times during their journey. Your body just has to catch up and realize that you're not trying to starve yourself, so it won't try to hold on to every ounce of fat/energy that you have.

My first stall lasted 5 weeks. Be patient. You will start losing again.

know you are beautiful. It's all a part of our battle wounds with weight loss surgery. Shapers will help. If you are lucky enough to afford plastic's that's great. There are worse things in life than loose skin. ;)

Right there with you, but when I wear shapers, everything is smoothed out well enough. I know I'll need a tt someday, but that will have to wait until after I'm done having kids!

      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. 🤞
