Feeling discouraged



Recommended Posts

Stalls are inevitable. Hang in there. To get my liquids and my Protein in I'll drink 1 to 2 premier Protein shakes a day. U can get them at costco and Walmart. Each shake has 30g of Protein and its 11oz of liquid. Crystal light has also helped me get in more liquids when I'm just not feeling like plain Water. To keep motivated use one of those apps on your phone that lets you put your before and after pics side by side. That way u can see how far Uve come. 65 lbs is a lot to be proud of!! Keep it up! I know u can do it!!

I have my Vitamins on top of my dresser at eye level in the morning.

This is my advice:

Get your Protein in

Get your fluids in

Take all your Vitamins

You know what you are doing wrong. Only you can change it. Best of luck.

You need to see your nutritionist and attend some support groups. It seems like some thing is very wrong.

Shicks, you need after care. With your surgeon's office or your family doctor can order bloodwork that checks for Vitamin levels. That bloodwork will show what you are low in and what you need to supplement with.

Talk to a doc!

I think I've been really depressed lately, and it's been affecting my progress. I did manage to talk to my doctor today, they gave me advice on taking the Vitamins. Now using a reminder app for my pills. Also made appointment with my therapist for Monday, and Thursday I see my surgeon in KC. Waiting for a call from my psychiatrist for an appointment with him. My dad has had the sleeve, we're going to start going to a support group next month. Thanks for the advice and support, I just needed to reach out.

      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... :(
