Recommended Posts

I had rny December 12,2016, I weigh myself every Monday to see my progress week to week

I am so close to having my first 100 pounds down but I'm going on three weeks to lose the last five pounds to get there. I feel like at this rate it will be months until I can get under 200 ☹️

I Exercise almost every day and track everything I eat using my fitness pal. So frustrated right now

You are doing great - you don't seem to have experienced any stalls so you must be doing all the right things. And as long as you are losing a pound a week you are doing good.

Are you getting in your fluids and eating your Protein? Are you eating enough to support the exercise you are getting?
If so, maybe a visit to your nutritionist for a review of your food log is in order.

I've found that things are slowing down now that I'm at the 6 month mark but as long as I'm losing I'm happy. Unlike diets that have an end, I view this as a lifetime journey. As long as I follow the plan my nutritionist gave me I'm confident things will move along and I will get to my goal, I'm not in a hurry. (I can't afford to keep changing sizes monthly!!)

You are doing so well! I went for over two weeks without losing anything. One thing that kicked me into high gear was lifting weights. I do weights three times a week and it really jump started my weight loss. I wouldn't worry if I were you, though. You are doing really well.

        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
