I feel so frustrated



Recommended Posts

Hi ! My name is Nichole and this is my first time posting on a forum here. I am 2 1/2 weeks post op. I am now starting solid foods (about three days ago) and I am doing pretty well with anything Ive tried. My frustration is with the stupid scale !! I lost a lot of weight my first week or so (about 20 pounds). Then in the last week NOTHING. The scale wont move. I know that was a crap load to loose in less than two weeks but now I am feeling frustrated. I can barely get in 600 cals a day right now ( I am getting my Protein goals though) and I am exercising everyday and nothing ?? really !?! I know this is just irrational thinking but I am thinking what if this dosnt work for me ??? What if I don't loose ??? I have worked so hard to get here and I just don't want this to be another failure. Prior to surgery I was not focused on the scale at all ....just living a healthier life ....now post op Ive become obessed with the scale. I need to just put it away and stop weighing myself and get focused on living healthy. Sorry ....just needed to vent and rant :)

You WILL lose. I promise. :) Your body is just adjusting. I lost 50 pounds in 6 weeks I think. Not for sure until I look at my tickler but don't fret because it will come off. No way it can stay on. We just go through these stalls because our body had to adjust to all that has happened. It is in survival mode right now. You are doing all the right things it seems from your post. Congratulations on being sleeved. You have a wonderful journey ahead of you. Just relax and enjoy the ride!

If you search here for stalls, you are not alone! It is normal and it is frustrating for sure! Been stalled for a few weeks now myself

There's something called the "three week stall" which started for me at two weeks. Hang in there--your body is adjusting. Look at it this way--even if you don't lose until 4 weeks, that's an average 5 pound per week loss. Keeping rocking it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
