Anybody having regrets? Need a pep talk



Recommended Posts

I'm at the dreaded 3-4 week slowdown, but this isn't about that. I just am sort of regretting that I can't eat anything, or so little that my life seems to be centered around food. More than 3 tablespoons of food and I feel sick/nauseated, so I stick to that. Which means my stomach is so empty every 3 hours or so that I feel sick/nauseated in a different way. Last night I felt so bad I was just wishing I'd never done this. :(

Anybody got a pep talk? I could sure use one.

Someone told me this right after I had my surgery, and I'm glad they did: "the first month is the worst". It's so true. Just hang in there, and it will get better!

Your entire life will change for the better..not only physically but mentally, but also your confidence and this will empower you! trust me...I am working out 3 times a week, I love how my clothes look, size 4 jeans from size 12-14....I am happier full of life...not because I lost weight but because Ive changed as a person....I eat good, exercise, love my body, embrace myself, I get facials, started volunteering, becoming involved, planning trips and getaways....you don't change mentally and spiritually, you have to work on those things now that the NEW you has taken over....Roll with it...embrace it and keep on moving! Love yourself!

It’s gets so much better - hang in there! I’m at 6 months and eat almost a cup or 4 oz (depends on weight or volume).

Thank you, everyone. I appreciate it. Taking a deep breath and moving on.

To cheer myself up today, i tried on every item of clothing in my closet and packed up 3/4 of it to go to Goodwill! It's all too big/loose/baggy. So that was fun...

Ha you’ll do that a few more times :). Try to only buy what you need for a while!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
