I'm stalled... I'm not getting enough rest at night and it's throwing it all to hell. I'm going to school 4 nights week, work full time and I'm having issues getting to the gym. I live in an apartment (2nd floor) so I'm worried about jumping around at home. I need to get over that, but then I'm not sure what I should be doing at home. Any ideas? Anyone know of a DVD or something I could do?
I feel good. But I feel like the scale isn't moving or matching how I feel. Lacking motivation and time. Any support our ideas will help.

More Protein and less carbs!
Go for walks including your stairs.
I've been walking around the mall where I work during my lunch breaks. So much easier to include exercise into my normal routine. Also it's free.

I've been slacking.... I just started an evening LPN program and it's kicking my ass, I'm also working full time. I'm having problem finding time to go to the gym. I always feel better when i make it to the gym but my day goes like this.... Up at 4:30-4:45am, leave house by 5:30 am. Work 6am until 2pm. School starts at 4:30pm but I normally get there by 4 pm. Class ends at 9:00 to 9:30pm. Go home, try and study normally I. bed between 11:30 pm- 12:30am.
I almost forgot i have physical therapy for my foot/everything else 2-3 times a week.
And then it starts again. I have school Monday thur Thursday. My days off are Friday- Saturday. And I'm having major issues accomplishing much on my days off.
I feel like I'm behind....
I just don't think I've los lots enough....
I'm stalled.... Tired.... And a little overwhelmed..
Any ideas? Thoughts?

I felt hungry and off-track (surgery October 19th) so I took 2 days and returned to basics: drank Protein Shakes and broths only and then reintroduced soft Proteins, returned to chewing more slowly and thoughtfully and weighing everything again. Now I've moved back into firmer Proteins. It's curbed the appetite for carbs and I'm feeling focused and back on track.
You can google '5 day pouch reset' if you're interested. I found it worked for me. I was experiencing cravings and they've since lessened considerably. It also broke a 3 week plateau. The weight loss has slowed though and I think it's normal in months 4+ to experience a more 'normal' rate of weight loss. It's a good thing. Our bodies are adjusting.
I'm glad to hear so many of you are doing well. We got this!

Wow your schedule looks pretty crazy! Mine is crazy but what I have found that works for me is either walking on the treadmill at night while studying, or after I get dinner done and everyone in bed I do my daily 30 minute workout, it's normally like 10:00 by then but then after I wind down with my studying. The workout videos I do are through beachbody they are the 21 day fix videos and they have a different 30 minute workout for everyday! I love them!
I do some kind of workout everyday which has helped tremendously with balancing everything going on, We need to have a little US time!

Just like you I have told no one, I am scared to. I have heard it all too, its always going to be our fault according to some people. The most important thing I would say to remember is that you did this for you, no one else. We did NOT take the easy way out having WLS. This is our tool to help us on our journey. I'm working on this one, but "It is not my business what other people think of me." Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

I mistakingly told my co-worker that has never had a weight problem. At first she tried to talk me out of it, then she excitedly said, "I can't wait to see the real you." Seriously?!? Am I not me now? Then she scolded me and told me I better follow the plan exactly and not cheat. WTF Thankfully my boss interrupted our conversation before it escalated.

Thanks for the replies... Usually comments don't bother me but it was getting old.. Your right my decision and I know it's the right call in my situation.. No matter what anyone else says, no matter the limitations and pain with getting the sleeve I know in the long run it will be the right call.. ????????

Meh. People are very ignorant when it comes to WLS. Pay no attention to the ignorant reactions. It's your body, your life.
I must have resting b*tch face or something, because I have NEVER gotten a negative reaction when I tell someone. I don't give them a chance to be negative about it. I just say it very matter of factly. In the tone of this-is-what-I-did and-if-you don't-like-it-I-could-give-a flying-f*ck'.
Just do that.

Im sorry people are just booty hats.

I am so sorry you are getting responses like that! I told everyone about my surgery (seriously, I am a talker and tell EVERYONE - 2 perfect strangers while shopping today for example). I have been very lucky not to experience negative talk. They may be doing it behind my back, but what I don't know can't hurt me. Having said that, my very first thought when I read what people have said to you is that I would have told them to F*(! off. Seriously do not understand why people feel the need to give their opinion on this rather than encouragement or just silence. "You're better than that" really ticks me off. How dare they?!
I don't have any advice at all. I just wanted to say I feel righteous indignation on your behalf!

@60&goin4fit.... thank you for the support.. Really thank all of you for the support.

It's not as fast as I thought it would be, but being a revision patient I was told it would be slower. Plus I really can't complain about 40lbs in 12 weeks!

I'm at a stall.... I started school about two weeks ago and it has interfered with my gym time. That and I've been going to physical therapy for my foot. I miss going I miss having the time to go. I need to get back in there. I just need more hours in a day.

Ok! You've inspired me! I will go to the gym and not just talk about it!!!

I joined the gym last week and this week stuck in the house because of blizzard. I had my 3 month appt last week. Labs look great, I had to cut back on my B Vitamins and my cholesterol is 120! I am losing hair too. I have lost 28% of excesos weight. They don't like to set goals, but told me at 6 months they like to see 40-50% EWL. I think once I get in the gym. I have been snacking a bit much being stuck at home. Trying to drink plenty of Water. The struggle is Real!

@@395Ron Wondering how you are doing?

@@steph_anie wow, you are doing amazing!!! I sometimes wonder why I was so scared of the surgery to begin with!! I had the Roux N Y. Lots of sleever's on here & everyone seems to be doing well with both surgery's!!

I was sleeved on 10/26/15. Started the program at 280 I'm at 180 now. Surgery day I was at 222. Feeling amazing.

@@L.Harmony Are you taking Biotin? I do but I have noticed this last week more strands of hair on my clothing than normal. No handfuls, at least not yet. The Hair loss is supposed to get better after 6 months. Glad your doing well with the weight loss!
