A Litte Discouraged...



Recommended Posts

I'm with misdiva & longer life....ditch the scale for 6 days out of 7 or 29 days out of 30. If you look at any of my posts, I've had the same issue. I was sleeved at the end of last year and I've had days and days where the scale didn't move and times when it even went up -- and this while tracking at about 1,200/day plus exercising! But it IS true that your body is still doing a LOT of work healing. I have to keep reminding myself that even as I get my energy back bit by bit -- even enough to do a boot camp 3-4/times week now -- my insides are still healing.

And you know what reminds me of that? Unfortunately it's that "ouch" feeling when something hits my tummy that it's not quite ready for. Even with all the care in chewing and eating slowly, it's clear that my insides are not 100% yet!

But guess what -- 1 month out and I've lost 20 pounds! Now everyone is different. I cannot stress that enough. And I have been working my bootie off (literally ; ) at this boot camp. But I feel great that I am finally starting to see a payoff.

Just hang in there. Do what you need to do nutrition-wise. Move as much as you can. You WILL get there!!

I stayed the same weight for few days too, I find that when I drink 60oz of Water, plus the water in my meals I the scale always moves even if its .2 lbs.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
