Depressions a b***h



Recommended Posts

Can I start by saying I'm going to zumba soon so I'm gonna sweat instead of crying so here goes.

I just have to hide my scale I keep upsetting myself! I'm not gaining but I'm not loosing like I thought I should be. I've lost 48lbs in almost 10 weeks I know it's enough but also I stand a lot at work and when I stand I still feel like I'm carrying that extra 48lbs still. I'm 211lbs my first goal is to be under 200 hopefully by the end of january.

My depression is I still feel 259lbs but all my body aches and is sore from all my amazing workouts I do.

You know what I mean, right?

UGGGHHHH!

Our stats are very close and I know how you feel. I also think I'll feel a lot better once I get below 200 but I'm pretty sure I'll just lower the bar again and decide <180 is the magic number. I also set a goal for end of January to get below 200. We can do this.

My weight hasn't moved for a week and a half and I'm super impatient. Hang in there, you're not alone. I think I was programmed to be impatient.

Measure all of your body parts and put the scale away. Use your measurements and smaller clothing to gauge your progress.

I get like that as well...people notice a diff...but I sometimes see my old self and it's hard to accept. Like I'm dreaming. You won't see that 48 lbs again and you gotta keep pushing and hopefully you'll meet your goal.

I just put the scale away. I'm too scared to measure myself. My cloths haven't changed on my body because they were extra big on purpose before and I haven't wore jeans in 3 years I've been wearing leggings so I can't see much

No worries, Everyone loses at different speeds.

I also am a slow loser. Down 54lbs since my surgery September 8th, But a lot of the friends I have on Instagram who had surgery at the same time are down 60-70lbs. Just keep swimming!

Also that amount of weight lost in 10 weeks is pretty awesome!

I mean without surgery have you ever had results like that?..I know I havent, That's why were here.

      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... :(
