I can't seem to bring myself to walk into a gym. My self confidence is low and I feel like if I walk in everyone will stare and wonder what a fat girl is doing there. How can I workout without a gym? I mean this is a for real paralyzing fear. Anyone else have similar thoughts or issue?

Thank you Jamie. I am having a hard time with the working out. I was doing really well with an at home regimen but I am a single mom of 2 and a full time student so a lot of stress right now. I don't have the self confidence to go to a gym and am really struggling like that..

So I saw my surgeon on Monday and she wasn't pleased with my weight loss. I am 14 weeks post op and have lost 30lbs. She stated that if I don't lose 10-15 pounds in the next 7 weeks until I see her again she thinks I won't lose anymore weight at all. Is my progress really that bad?

Yes I am eating puréed and my doctor allowed me to slowly incorporate more foods if I thought I was ready

Minime15 I also had surgery 11/2 and have only lost 14 pounds, didn't gain any from the hospital. My mother had the surgery 10 years ago and she likes to ask how much am I down and I finally had to tell her I would update her when there is a change. I haven't lost anything in almost two weeks.. So frustrating.

I know that everyone is different and we all loose at different rates but I'm just so worried that I'm not doing this right.. I'm 10 days post op today and have lost 14lbs..

For the late night cravings I have been chewing a lot of gum, also I have trouble getting all the liquids in as well my water intake is something I need to work on. I've just never been much of a drinker either..

I'm from Simi Valley, CA. Having my surgery 11/2 at VCMC

Yes I wish I could say it gets easier but it hasn't. It doesn't help that I have two small children that I need to cook for. Lol.. But on the bright side I've lost 5lbs since Monday.

Good luck to you SalsaKitty

Thanks Dub

My liquid diet is 2 weeks. It's been awful I love the shake I use its a powder (chocorite in chocolate supreme) I mix with 10oz water and 1 scoop of nectar unflavored protein powder and blend over ice.
