Confused... what did I do wrong?



Recommended Posts

Hey all!

I'm finally off purees. I went to see my surgeon today for my 2 week check up and everything was fine! I lost 33 pounds since surgery on June 15th and I'm feeling good. I had bacon and eggs for Breakfast earlier today.... and had a chance to recheck my scale just now and I am 257! Just this morning and yesterday I was 255.

Did I do something wrong? This is making me nervous and I feel I should just go back to purees. What am I doing wrong?? He didn't say I couldn't have bacon and eggs, and I didn't even finish my whole plate. There's enough left over for tomorrow's breakfast. I'm feeling genuinely sad and confused :(

You can have fluctuations like that from day to day. It is the overall trend you should track. Hang in there!

This is the reason I force myself to weigh only once per week. Your weight will fluctuate up and down daily, just as it did before surgery. Don't be alarmed by this, it's normal.

Totally normal. Especially if you're weighing several times a day. I'm 2-5 pounds higher sometimes between morning and evening.

That being said, with your amazing weight loss of 33 pound in 2 weeks, your body is going to try to adjust. You are going to fluctuate and even stall here soon. Happens to everyone. Just keep doing what you need to do and it will pass.

Great job and keep it up!

I wouldn't fret! I weight constantly (I know, it's bad) and I always fluctuate a couple lbs! You might get a little more consistency if you weight the same time every day, like morning. If you weigh in the morning and then at night... you will almost always weight more at night.

Sorry if I sound completely psycho worrying about something like this :lol:

But thank you all for the reassurance! I do check my scale everyday which needs to stop! At least now I know fluctuating is normal. It was just a bit scary to see those numbers go up again.

Here's to all of us choosing the sleeve and continuing to see good progress :)

      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.
