Scale keeps bouncing. 204, 206, 203, 204, 207 OMG, 202, 204, 203.



Recommended Posts

Going on three weeks of this crap.

Please don't tell me to up my Protein or increase my exercise or cut my carbs or sell my soul to Satan.

I've already done all of these things. They don't matter. Sometimes you just get fecking STUCK for weeks and you suffer and glare at the scale and want to punch someone. It figures this would occur right before onederland. (shaking fist at the sky)

LOL.

Not looking for advice. Just wanted to complain openly so others experiencing this irritating reality don't feel alone.

To my brothers and sister in StuckVille....I feel your pain!

Ok I won’t tell you any of those things. I’ll tell you this in case your not doing it already. Cut out ALL liquid calories including shakes & drink nothing but Water. Maybe that’ll help if your not already doing so.

@creekimp13

The only thing I didn't do was sell my soul lol. [emoji23] I was in "stuckville" for about two weeks and it finally ended the other day. Yes, it sucks big time!! Especially when you are sooooooo close to a goal. We will live to see another day though...hopefully!

Seahawks...no worries! My point was...if you're stuck, too, you're not alone:)

My nutritionist assures me it's very common and that it's all about patience and remaining consistent.

Was just sayin....hey all you other stuck people....I feel your pain!

(I'm not really worried about it, just feeling kinda impatient)

I ain't got **** for advice to offer anyhow. But I can commiserate. I am sure you've done the whole "measure yourself" thing. How're you feeling otherwise?

Funny how it always happens around a major weight too. It’s like the scale knows!

It’s so frustrating this journey we all are on. I’m grateful but still frustrated.

I am having the same issue. How far out are you? I am just over 6 months and the scale keeps bouncing. It goes down and then it goes up and then it goes down and then it goes up. I too am sick of it.

Make sure to check the batteries in your scale if it has them. Mine were low and it was adding weight and not being consistent. I also discovered if its not in the same place on the floor it changes the reading high or low. Very annoying when it flips in a range of 4 lbs and you have no idea if you lost or gained!

      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.
