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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
