WHO STOLE THE SCALE and other challenges on vacation.



Recommended Posts

I'm on vacation in Europe on a river cruise and have been weighing myself every few days on the gym scale (bathroom type). An hour ago I get there and it's missing. Grrrrrr. They say a passenger must have taken it back to their cabin. People can be so inconsiderate.

This vacation has been very challenging, mostly due to being bitter cold, (I'm a Floridian) walking great distances (this is a good thing though), and just unable to get nearly enough Water in while bundled up , cold and not thirsty.

Probably why I'm stalling rather than losing. I've been strong passing on pastries and bread, carbs in general. I admit to having a piece of Belgium chocolate now and then when placed in front of me. Glad I'm not a fan of Guell wine as they really push it. There are just so many sweets. I can tell I miss Pasta. I've had no trouble saying no thank you to it, but sometimes it's the only thing I like on the menu but I'm good to order a healthier alternative but feel deprived when others are eating pasta.

The positive about this, I can bet I would have put on 15 lbs during this 3 week vacation if not more if I hadn't been sleeved 4 months ago.

I look so good in my pictures. post-258580-14810077521475_thumb.jpg

Anyone else having challenges while on vacation.

I have challenges every Sunday and Wednesday at church. They eat every Wed night there and Sundays we go out. Normally not healthy restaurants either. Its a challenge. I try to eat just the meat and green veggies of they are available. Sigh and the Water. I never drink enough I'm never thirsty and liquids are uncomfortable. I'm 9 weeks out rny, but I love my clothes falling off.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
