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

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!


I used to call that “Fat Kid Denial” when you start to make excuses as to why the scale is going up. Or when you put on a shirt and it doesn’t fit and you say “Oh this must have shrunk” or you try one on at the store and it is too small and you say “oh this 4XL must run small in this brand”

That is literally my fantasy - it turns out that the scale was wrong and I’ve lost all this weight!

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!

I'm in the same boat! scale is all over the place, I am so eager to get to ONDERLAND I should have known i would have this stall right before. Hang in there, Your doing everything you need to be doing.

I feel your pain. I was stuck at 200 for almost two weeks. Was really excited to get to onderland but didn't think it would ever happen. Now I'm stuck at 190 going on almost two weeks. This too shall pass. LoL

Yeah, kind of in one too. I’d gotten lazy about not writing down every morsel of food so I went strong on that, and I did see some cals creeping in where they weren’t needed. I’m hoping that is a quirk that will shake that scale down. I was getting really used to the scale dropping weekly and I’m not likin this.

To all in Suckville, ((hugs))!!! No words, just SUCKS!!!!! GHDWL (Ground Hog Day Weight Loss=where you wake up each morning and lose or gain the same weight over and over again) is the pits!!! LOL, I spent 89 days in the 230s. It felt like an eternity. I wanted to make like a coyote in a trap and chew one of my legs off, just so the scale would move!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
