Not losing weight



Recommended Posts

I have my gastric sleeve surgery the end of June 2015 and I think I may have stretched my stomach. I will admit I have caved into unhealthy habits and carbonation. I was 354 surgery day and am currently 295. But its been at this weight for almost a month now. How can I get back on track? Any detoxes or specific things to do? Obviously cut out the carbonation again but anything else? I need help guys.

Sounds like you have already begun your turn-around.

Just a few minutes ago, I posted this at the end of my remark:

My mantras for 2016 are:

Eat Leaner -Train Meaner

Get Fit In The Gym - Lose Weight In The Kitchen

Hunger Is Not An Emergency

Walk Away From The chocolate

You have to eliminate excuses and road locks one by one. You'll get there. Please hang around here for support.

I would say keeping a food journal has been my turnaround. Write it down!!!!! Every bite!!!!!

I don't think there are any magic fixes. I would recommend you make an appointment with your NUT to talk about your goals and go back to basics.

Follow your program.

Track your food.

Make sure you get in all of your Protein and fluids every day.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

And exercise.

You have the tools.

My doctor started me with a life coach in his office after I regained 25 lbs., and after two visits I realized Even though I was eating less than I used to I had resorted to eating the same foods I used to especially over Thanksgiving and Christmas. Six days of writing down every bite I have lost 8 lbs. I could not believe I had wandered off the path of eating the way I should, so easily, with a bite here, and a bite there. I stopped the Life Coach and got back on Bariatric Pal, and am determined to not fall to the wayside again. I WILL write down every bite I take.

@, I am just curious, but do you know what kind of training and credentials the Life Coach had?

I am exploring what I want to be when I grow up and am intrigued about this as a possibility, at least on the side.

      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.
