Soooo frustrated!!



Recommended Posts

So I recently had posted that I had lost weight after being stuck for quite awhile. I was extremely excited but since then I gained 2 pounds. Why does it feel like I'm so close to my goal of 125 but it doesnt seem like I can get there?? I know reaching 140 is a HUGE accomplishment but I want to reach my goal by my 2 year mark April 11. HELP!!!!!!

The weight that you want to be (and even the weight the charts say you should be) and the weight that your body can maintain comfortably can be two completely different numbers.

You need to recoginze the number your body is healthy at and happy with and get over the mental "numbers". Then you will be at the right weight.

Looking at the numbers on the scale is never going to stop frustrating you. You have to go by how you feel, how your clothes fit, can you look in the mirror dressed and say yes that looks good. So many people want to see the number but what about your measurments. This month when I went to my doctor I lost no weight but three inches. I was so happy. You cant rely on a number to make you happy or you will drive yourself crazy.

I am fairly new to this site. Not sure if I am in the right forum or not. I would like to know if anyone has experienced these problems. I was banded mar 12. Have not stayed on track and have not list much weight. A few months ago I suffered nausea, throwing up (nothing coming up) , belching, some chills, Back ache between shoulder blades. First I thought I had a bug. I got nauseated a couple times a wk. the dr had me drink barium and said it was not the band, sounded like gall bladder. Went to my pcp, had gall stones and had my gall bladder removed. The surgeon said I can't promise this will take care of the nausea. I had surgery feb 1st (gall bladder). And still have all of the same symptoms. I go for my follow up tomorrow. Anyone else experience this? Sorry this is long.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
