Off the wagon



Recommended Posts

Ok I have been avoiding this app and discussions. I am 7 months out down 73 lbs. I am completely off the wagon. I have very little support at home because my soon to be husband has no control. I am back to eating out and have completely stalled my weight loss. I feel I have failed. I need some motivation. I need some support. So I am turning to the app that I turned my back on. Has this happened to anyone else??? I feel so ashamed.

I am so sorry to hear that you are struggling. However, 73lbs is a fantastic accomplishment so stop beating your self up! You have come so far in such a short amount of time. Be proud of how far you have come even through the hurdles of a non supportive spouse. If this app helped you in the beginning it is time to come back and talk to your friends here.

I am very new to this site and already have found so much help and support here.

I really hope that you continue your journey and don't let nothing or no one stand your way. If you need anyone to talk with feel free to reach out and friend me.

Good Luck!

I'm with you! I'm almost a year out, and my food choices have been less than good. I've had major stressers come up, spent time in the hospital with one of my children and slipped back into bad patterns. Not only eating things I shouldn't but drinking more than I should.

Here is what I'm trying to do, first remember why I had the surgery. I wanted to be healthy for myself, my children and husband. Second I wanted to be able to be active. Then I'm trying to remember all I went through to get were I'm at. After all the complications, . I never want to go through that again.

We can't beat ourselves up, just acknowledge our choices and try to make better ones.

I pray that we will both get back to our healthy selves!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
