Struggling. Not sure why. Maybe freaking out a bit? I have a great therapist who helps me a lot so that's a blessing.

Have you all noticed how sometimes the changes in your bodies seem to happen overnight? I'm more than 25 lbs lighter than i have ever been in my adult life, and I think that the latest changes are what's wigging me out. I've never seen this girl. More and more people are making comments (very positive comments). Yet I'm the same girl inside.

Anyway, thanks for the vent room.

ARGH!! Srsly... ARGH!.. I'm hungry. I've tried to space out my "snacks" so that I'm not continually eating but geeez!. I wonder since I had a hysterectomy back in 06 and have no idea when I'm ovulating, if that could be contributing my my hunger. I know it's mostly mouth hunger and I'm keeping my Snacks to sugar free Jello and sugar free puddin' but with work being a real stress ball and me wanting to move to TX sooner rather than later :throws hands up in the air and walks in a circle: to be with my sweet grandbebe, I am frustrated beyond the max. I can't even get excited about the class I'm taking. :sighs:.. Sorry for the whine dear friends but my cheese has rotted. :'(

i'm feeling it too... not sure why or what's up with me but i either want to eat, or sleep or scream... and I'm not hungry... it's just something to do I think?

It's gotta be something to do with surgery cause the past 5 days I've been in such a funk. I'm so depressed for some reason and I have no idea why. I've been miserable. All I wanted to do today was curl up in a ball and sleep. I don't like feeling like this but I can't seem to snap out if it.

Hugs, me too. Hope it passes soon.

I think we may all be realizing on some level that this is for real and our minds are having a problem accepting it. in my cas only since i have faoled at all other attempts at major eeight loss my mind os waiting for me to fail.

I really wonder what, physiologically, could be happening that several are hungry and feeling big frustration. I keep wondering if it isn't because of the estrogen-fat release depression the doctor told me about. I mean we're burning pounds and fat, hearing good comments but not yet seeing a supermodel in the mirror, feeling better but not yet marathon ready, losing our hair (me), puking occasionally when we eat a bite too much (anyone else occasionally worried we're a shade too close to bulimia), happy weight is coming off while criticizing ourselves for the ugly jiggly fat folds, and we're just so accustomed to failing that we keep waiting for the next shoe to drop and ruin it all. I think therapy, support groups, and time can help but people nature is to want everything perfect now and we've learned to be impatient far longer than we've learned to be patient. As hard as it is, seems to me at this point we just have to give ourselves permission to "be", "settle", and "just accept" where we are in this moment in this vessel. We can and will DO this together!

Maybe so. I know some of my life priorities have changed. Maybe its frustration mixed in too?

I'm starting to feel the same way as a lot of you. I am beginning to feel an empty hunger feeling and I am able to eat more but I don't want to because I'm afraid it will halt my weight loss. It doesn't help that I'm stalled either!

Thank you, that was really helpful! You said it perfectly.

Well said! On a side note... I'm sure my cats are tired of cleaning themselves and finding one of my superlong hairs on them!!!

Right there with you! I've been knitting at night instead of studying so I can stay level.

Momma_doe,

I absolutely love your post! I also think you are absolutely right!! I hear the compliments, but I don't seem to really be feeling them. It doesn't help that even my small clothes now are getting baggy. A very good problem, but I feel frumpy. The scale is moving, I have not had more than maybe a three day stall. I have yet to dump or vomit, and so far no Hair loss. I keep waiting for the bad stuff to happen, and it just isn't. I should be grateful, but instead it worries me. Go figure!!

Special Note: some of my posts have some serious spelling errors and i am aware of this fact, my defense is that I commute to work on a trolley line that is 100 years old ( seriously ) and its gets rocking & rolling :-) im sure you can figure out the rest

      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? 🤷‍♀️
