I Want My Stomach And My Money Back! (J/k)



Recommended Posts

When you do break the stall' date=' you'll lose a bunch. I did that all through out my weight loss journey. I would plateau for awhile, and then lose 5 lbs in a week, and then go on another plateau.

It will come off. Try not to feel discouraged, because you're right. When you're eating so much less, it has to go down but sometimes not as fast as we want. You'll be losing again soon.[/quote']

Thanks, I am going to continue this journey, I am planning to add some exercise, that will help, I hope!!

Please remember to loose weight you must eat - lesser calories than you are supposed to eat while keep you in a stall as you body goes into starvation mode.

Please don't believe if you starve you will loose it is the farthest thing from the truth.

I don't have any motivational wise words, but I just want to say that I LOVE what you just wrote because I eat more calories PRE op in one meal probably, than you do in a whole day! I can't WAIT for this surgery!!

So what has happened? Have you just given up? You can admit defeat if you chose defeat. You are not winning, you are riding down the sneeky side and not working your sleeve. Remember that it is a tool to use to lose the weight. Don't give up you are worth so much more than this; where you are. Don't you want to meet your goal weight?

Get back to your basics, get a "diet" buddy, join a diet group, pull up those big girl pants and get to it!!! I now that you can, summer is just about here and so are cute sundresses and bikinis!!

Set some major goals for yourself and dive in, you CAN be successful!! :rolleyes:

You've lost 2lbs a week, every week, for the last seven months. Doesn't sound like failure to me.

My doctor said you continue to lose weight for 18 months. Everyone loses at a different rate. You can't give up. We all have invested time and money to help us with the weight lost. It doesn't fall off on its own. Join the gym, I started going and I feel so good. Don't give up!

So what have you tried to change up? More calories? Fewer calories? More Protein? A different/more intense exercise regiment? If your truly in a 3 month stall, do SOMETHING different. What does your nutritionist advise?

56 lbs divided by 7 months is 8 lbs average per month which equals to 2 lbs a week.

You may not have lost it that way, but it's still averages out that way.

Give yourself a break. You're losing. You're not losing as fast as you would like, but you're not gaining. If you're eating a lot of carbs, that's the first place to cut, and get in as much exercise as you can. Then just tell yourself you're doing the best you can !

You're absolutely right Ore. Since my post I have gotten some great uplifting responses. And I thank those who have helped me look at this in a more positive light. So im officially 60lbs down now. Lol unless the scale is playing tricks on me.

I'm kidding of course.... Just frustrated. I shouldn't be' date=' but I am.

I am 30 days out tomorrow from being sleeved. I've lost a total of 22 lbs post sleeve. My scale hasn't moved in almost 3 weeks though!!!

I have no right to be upset.... Just tired of getting on the scale in hopes of seeing it move in be right direction but it won't! :( I'm doing everything to the letter and I'm beginning to get discouraged. I've been tracking my calories every day... Staying right at or just below my calorie budget. I'm getting a decent amount of fluids in (not quite up to 64 oz yet), AND I've been taking the dogs on nice walks every evening!

I'm not looking for major poundage everyday either.... I would be happy if it was only ounces... As long as it was moving!

(sigh)

I've already had all the rational talks with myself about how I'm only 4 weeks out.... And I need to give my body a chance... Blah Blah Blah... I think its everyone at work who have been my cheerleaders thru all of this whenever they see me asking me how many pounds I've lost.... Its so hard to answer them with the same # as it was 2 weeks ago.

Anyway.... I just needed to get that off of my chest. I need to break this stall one way or another!!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
