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!!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
