I am three months out today and I have been struggling with the mental aspect of this. I have lost 33lbs since surgery, 66lbs overall. During the holidays I slid, a lot. I was bound and determined to get back on track once the new year started, but I find I am still having issues. I am now in a mental battle with myself to do what needs to be done. I look at my scars and get mad that I am wasting this awesome tool that I have. Yet I find myself still reaching for "sliders" and eating with abandon. I am trying, it isn't like every meal every day is junk. (which has been my only saving grace not to gain) Yet I know if I followed my plan better and exercised like I should I would be much further ahead than I am. I think yesterday I recognized one thing that might be holding me back, mentally speaking. I dawned on me I cannot imagine, at all, myself thin. My current weight of 250lbs is the lowest I have been in probably 13+ years. I cannot really remember what it felt like to be in "onederland". I still feel like a fat chick because, quite honestly, I am. I get compliments and kudos for the weight I have lost. And while I don't sneeze at the fact I HAVE lost 66lbs, I have a lot of fear I won't ever get lower. ( Which may be another reason for my self sabotage) I need a LOT of reflection and determination to get the train back on track. I am not giving up, I refuse to do that. I just need to dig deep and figure out why I am allowing food to ruin a good chance at health. I need to get back the drive and fire I had when I was going into this. I need to remember how bad I really wanted this and take it home... I never want to give up, and I hope you don't either.

You couldn't have said it better. The fact that I'm not losing is making me fall into bad habits again and just losing hope in myself. I've been overweight ever since I was a child so yes the compliments on the weight loss is nice, however, I'm not nearly where I want or need to be. Wearing a size 6/8 has never been in the picture for me and even with the weight I've loss this far, I can't see me getting any smaller, especially after this stall. It's extremely frustrating. I don't know wht to do. Standing weight right now is betwwn 238 and 240

7 months out, stalled for about almost 3 (not counting the 10lbs I lost when I was sick) altogether down 72lbs. But considering I've been stalled for so long idek if I'll ever reach onederland and I'm so frustrated and scared of failing after everything .

I've been at a stall for a long while now. Approx 2 in a half months. I'm trying to get back into the flow of things as far as eating more calories and taking in more Protein. If both these things are increased is it more likely I will start to lose again? I'm just scared that what I've lost will be all that I will lose after the sleeve since I'm at that point where the losing weight is suppose to "level off". I need help with what to do and change. Any suggestions ?

Was there a month where you started loosing more rapidly from that month on?

Was there a certain month where you started loosing more rapidly from that month on?

I haven't lost any weight in about a month so I'm wondering to give this stall a little kickstart should I just go back to Liquid Protein for a little bit? This is only my second month out and I haven't lost weight since the first 3 weeks.

In all honesty I'm almost 2 months out and I haven't lost since my first 3 weeks basically. So meaning I've been in a stall for a month lol. It is frustrating to be in a stall so long especially at the beginning because I think it just reminds us of all the times we have failed. No I don't need to loose 100 lbs in 3 months but at least 15 over the next month

Small rant warning

Ugh I've been stalled and im assuming I need to increase my calorie intake because I know it's too low even though I don't fell hungry throughout the day. I don't want my body to stay in starvation mode which is why I feel like in not losing weight. It's hard to increase my calories. Any suggestions for good foods that will help me increase my calorie intake to keep thos weight moving?

How old are you?

21

I'm at 2.5 months. I was stalled around week 6 to week 8. Then started doping like crazy. Everyone is different. Just take comfort in knowing that it WILL happen and be patient.

What kind of things are you eating along with any excercise you do?

How far out are you?

6 weeks 2days

I've been stuck in the same 10 lb range and I thought I broke my pleateau when I lost the 4 lbs but I feel like im stuck again. Im already exercising. Is there any way ppl don't lose at all or even half the weight? Maybe I'm just an extremely slow loser but its nerve wrecking too. Any suggestions of what to do?

Started exercising when it no longer Hurt to laugh or sneeze lol. I started at 4 weeks. I'm currently in week 5 and I'm walking/joggin 2.5 miles and weight lifting and feel fine. Just make sure to do what you can handle

My doctor appt was today and since my pre diet I'm down about 40 pounds mind you I'm 5 almost 6 weeks out. AND i stalled for 2 weeks. My surgeon said its less than he'd hope. I thought that was a pretty good amount! He kinda discouraged me. Apparently I'm a slow loser?

I just feel like I'm lifting weights rather than actually strength training lol. How do you strength train w/o a professional because I'm too broke for a trainer

I'll be 5 wks out and I'm going out tomrw. Is it okay to have one drink uncabornated? And obviously not a shot or anything super strong

I haven't lost weight in almost 3 weeks. I'm barely 4 in a half weeks out and I'm getting afraid that what I lost will be all that ill loose. It's hard to see the future of something finally working when you've tried over and over . Is there any time where ppl just don't lose at all? I'm not eating terrible either and just started at the gym.

Has anyone else experienced clear bumps or sweat like bumps when they're out in the sun or get hot or sweat??? Idk if its a Vitamin deficiency or what, I just started getting these small bumps on my chest, arms and stomach after I had surgery

I've been at a plauteau and I'm going to start working out this week and was wondering how did excercise help your plauteaus/ weight loss?

I'm a month out and have been at a stall for maybe about 1 in a half weeks. So far I had lost 40lbs but recently gained back 2lbs. I've had some cantaloupe in the past couple days and are we not suppose to eat fruit yet?? Also , to get out my stall in assuming exercise is key right? I wasn't worried about my stall until I gained the 2 lbs.

Do you go to the gym and workout? In only one month and couldn't imagine me changing completely yet

Hello I'm a month out and I've never shopped for food yet. I've had chicken and fish and haven't tried any other meats. What kinds of things should I be buying? Including fruits and veggies and what foods would also help move my Bowels along, they are at a stand still.

I returned to work yesterday after 3 weeks and my coworker asked if I was depressed because I lost weight lol. In still trying to figure it out too

Hi I'm a month out and for the past week I've been able to eat an entire chicken leg. Lol I know this night sound silly but is that too soon to be able to handle that in one sitting? It's a relatively small leg not huge

This is good to hear because I Love fruit. I'm about a month out and am craving dark cherries and cantaloupe!!
