Butt and gut and other probs



Recommended Posts

I’ve been having a rough go lately.. I’m 4.5 months post-op... my weight loss has stalled for a month, my hair falling out and my boyfriend broke up with me last night and I can’t seem to lose my butt or my gut! I took measurements and have only lost 1” in my thighs and 6” in my hips and 2” in my stomach since surgery.. will this ever get smaller? I feel like my progress is so much slower than everyone else’s and I don’t know if I am doing something wrong or it’s just my 30 years of bad luck sticking around.. I have been walking 2-3 Miles 4-5 days a week and doing weight training.. so discouraged right now. Fml

hang in there Lex.

Results vary and the timing varies greatly.

You are under a huge amount of stress right now and since this a mostly mental game post op the stress can really do you in.

You cant target the weight loss. Your body decides and that is that. You can tone the muscles under the fat but the fat does as it wants.

my gut was my most hated and it was the dead last thing to start shrinking. You just have to keep on keeping on.

The plan will work. The timing might not fit our mental wishes but there is little you can do.

Follow your doctors plan and review it from time to time to make sure you havent started to slip up

my personal list - as seen in many many of my posts (lol)

1. hydrate

2. Protein

3. no added suagr

4. no simple carbs - thats just sugar misspelled

5. complex carbs from your veggies

6. no snacking

7. Does your workout routine still leave you in a puddle of sweat? change it up if your answer is no

and lastly fight the good fight no surrender. It really is a mental game from here on out.

all of the above is just my opinion and that and 2 cents will get you tossed out of a Starbucks.

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

      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
