Cant get out of the 80's !



Recommended Posts

Omg, I have been going up and down like roller coaster with this weight. I am stuck at 185.3 and don't know how to get down.

I have been drinking the shakes, exercising and more !

Does anyone know a way I can change this ?

Am I stuck in the 80's for good ?

I am beginning to believe my body doesn't want to be skinny :(

Breath... you got this... you know we are all going to have stalls (everyones stall is different) for the last 3 weeks i too was stuck in the 180's (until today!) Do you keep track of what you are eating & drinking? i wasnt, i felt that i was doing everything that i should, but i have totally been sucking on keeping a log and i know my Water intake has been less then par... but this past weekend, i did only potein (shakes twice a day, and just fish, shrimp, or egg whites for my other meal) i walked a little longer & a little faster & tried to get in more Water then i normally do even if it wasnt what i should have, just trying to get more in... today the scale said 179...

This worked for me, it might not work for you... but i have found when i stall for more then 2weeks ... i shake it up with more Protein shakes in my day & that seems to help... Good luck!!!

Ive had that problem ever since I got below 200. Spent what seemed like forever bouncing back and forth between 180 and 185, finall went down, now bouncing between 170 and 175. Loss has slowed to 3 to 5 pounds a month, which feels like nothing because its not a steady loss anymore. Just step back and look at a few months at a time and realize you're still making progress, even if stalls are becoming more frequent. It will happen!

Me too. 185-180 took seven weeks. Now that I have it 179, it looks like every pound is going to be a hard-fought battle of its own. Oh well.....keep at it.

I too am stuck in 80's, 183 for a week now. But I know it will pass. When I feel discouraged I just look back to where I started.

I've been stuck at 164-167 for a few months. The lower your weight, the bigger the struggle, at least for me. My body is very efficient at hanging on to every calorie!

Omg.....I am so glad to see others going thru this.... I am stuck between 182 - 180 for the last 2 weeks..... I have only lost 60 pounds and it's been 32 weeks. Afraid I'm not going to make goal within year......started back on liquids today....am going to try only this for 10 days and see what happens

thats very true...the sleeve is a tool. and we have to make it work for us. I was so stressed about my weight...but now I am not...so my sleeve is also responding...

more Protein more exercise and more Water.

all the best.

This just solidifies what I have already been thinking. I was stuck at 186 for several weeks, then seemed to get to 181 over 2 weeks then stuck again for weeks... I'm at 176 now and have been for a couple weeks... I think as we get closer to goal, it is harder, for me (not sure if it is the same for most girls) I just don't lose in my luetal phase. I might even gain a pound or two in that 3 week phase (I have a prolonged luetal phase). Then I have a couple weeks where loss occurs... Less as goal gets closer.

This is definitely a journey of patience and faith!

Am I glad to hear that others face this same struggle! Not glad u r struggling by any means...just good to know it's not just me! I was really feeling like I had failed at this journey,even if I kept those thoughts to myself,they were there. I've been stuck between 186-189 for over three months!!!! Started exercising ....nothing.....more exercising ...nothing...have been keeping food log and will start today by doing the Protein only. shakes and one meal. Also will increase my Water. Here's hoping I can budge that stupid scale!!!!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
