My pooch is gross



Recommended Posts

I feel as if my pooch is getting bigger. I am doing everything right.

Exercising and eating right. I started my journey Jan 28 225 lbs and I weighed in at 188 today. I can't seem to get passed 188. Please any help would be great.

I feel you. But I had twins almost 30 years ago and have accepted that I will need plastic surgery to get rid of it. However right now, I'm loving my smaller body! I put on a Maidenform shaper tank or some high waisted shaper underwear and get my skinnier self going. Get a longline tank for now. The pooch will shrink some...depending on your age and skin elasticity. No hope for mine...but it's ok.

Congrats on the weight loss, bet you look fab in clothes!

Sounds to me like you've just hit the dreaded "first stall". Most people will experience this a few times during their journey. Your body just has to catch up and realize that you're not trying to starve yourself, so it won't try to hold on to every ounce of fat/energy that you have.

My first stall lasted 5 weeks. Be patient. You will start losing again.

You may just have to Finnish losing weight and have a Tummy Tuck.

know you are beautiful. It's all a part of our battle wounds with weight loss surgery. Shapers will help. If you are lucky enough to afford plastic's that's great. There are worse things in life than loose skin. ;)

Right there with you, but when I wear shapers, everything is smoothed out well enough. I know I'll need a tt someday, but that will have to wait until after I'm done having kids!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
