I'm tired!!



Recommended Posts

I'm tired of trying to loss weight with no success. I always said that I would never have any weigh loss surgery, but after thinking that something has got to give I'm planning to go to a seminar soon. I am scared of complications, failing, etc. I'm severly overweight and have hypertension I have a child with special needs that I need to live for so I must do something. I have no one I feel I can turn to. My mind is all over the place. I have read some posts and learned a few things that have answered a few questions for me. Any tips or words for support or encouragement.

If you are just starting out I would advise you to do a lot of research. Definitely go to the seminar. Get the book "Bandwagon" which is pretty informative. It's time to put yourself first. If you keep giving and giving without replenishing yourself you just get very drained and burn yourself out. It's nver too late to turn your life completely around and take the wheel and steer it in a new direction. You owe this to yourself and you CAN do this! Best of luck on your journey!

These forums can be so helpful and encouraging. You have a whole support system/family, right here at your finger tips! It's an amazing thing!

WLS is not for everyone but if your like me, someone who has struggled and finally got to a point where you KNEW something had to be done, then this may just be right up your alley. Good luck on your journey and if you do or don't decide to get WLS, we're always here to answer any questions you may have :)

Go to your seminar and see how you feel after. Sending LOTS of good vibes your way!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
