This was all I needed to read to know how much I 💖 you..

I have came across post like this but as you know this is a very sensitive issue with all of us. I needed to vent about my situation and I did. It doesn't matter how many post I have read that may be going through the same thing, that does not mean I can not voice what I am feeling due to this huge change in my life.

So i had my third follow up today and I've loss 4lbs in two weeks. im 7 weeks out and only lost 15lbs since surgery. im told I'm not eating enough of calories and should be eating 1000 to 1200 by now and this is why I'm slow to lose. That's alot to consume. i plan on getting that by protien shakes mainly because she told me focus only on protien and vegetables. anyone who said this is the easy way, told a huge fib because this is by far not easy and I don't know how im going to manage more because I'm so full for so long. Today, I ate about 2 oz of salmon and about 4 pieces of broccoli florets for lunch at 12:30, my appointment wasn't until 3:50 and i was still full. i tried to drink a bit in between but that was a task. there's got to be a better way, any suggestions?

I like this topic. Surgery approaching June 12th. I know I am making the right decision but still having a lot of anxiety. As someone else said it would be irrational NOT to have anxiety before surgery.

I am almost 2 yrs out from surgery. I had gotten myself a pair of Miss Me Jeans for my “goal jeans” (from 24 to 14’s). Back when I was a 24- I mentally couldn’t imagine myself ever be close to a 14. (I seriously thought this was too far fetched of a goal) I would love to be there. I even took pics of the 2 pairs of jeans together that was I would have a visual of my success. Well- here I am rocking those 14’s. I probably could go down to 12’s! (Sw 280 to CW 203) Why can I not be happy with this?? I still feel so fat. Almost more conscious than I was when I was larger. It’s like my upper belly area is like a mega muffin top! 😩 I’m starting to be afraid- even if I were to lose more weight- would I even be happy with it. So depression comes in & says.. why bother trying.

Othello, your concern is valid. I stalled for 3 weeks at the same weight. I was so upset to get on the scale and see it hadn't changed. I cried, because it wasnt moving. I'm now losing slow, but have lost 14 more lbs since then. Dont feel afraid to say you are concerned! Best to you!

I know exactly how you feel! Today was the day i found out my date which is July 18th and im feeling all those. Im also 5'5 and 275 lbs and ive been obese my entire life and i'm only 22 so i'm ready for this surgery im honestly more excited than anything else. Good luck on your surgery journey wish you nothing but the best! 😀

Even though I had surgery before you2/4/19... I lost 25 lbs between my March 21st check up and yesterday.. with a few days when the scale showed a gain here and there and a few stalls... do t beat yourself up!!! You got this !!! You are doing well..

Shanda wishing you a successful surgery today. !!

So as most of you know I had me sleeve done 3-20-19. This was the best decision I made for myself. Since my surgery I have only lost 25 lbs. I have been doing everything they have asked, just can't lose it. I work out, get my protein and water. I'm not gaining just don't know what else to do. I'm so scary this will not work for me after I went through a year and a half working for it. The one day of the week that I don't go to the gym I feel guilty about it At first I was thinking this is a stall but come on I'm in week 9. I just don't know what to do anymore, hoping this wasn't a waste of time. Sent from my Moto E (4) using BariatricPal mobile app
