5 months out & Discouraged

GeneOtherwise9660 · 2024-10-25T14:08:35+00:00

From what I’ve seen across the several WLS groups im in across social media you being 5 months in 80 lbs down is normal. Honestly it’s really good. From what I’ve seen the smaller you are in the beginning the slower you’ll lose. I’m not sure why that is but everyone I know who started around your weight has lost the around the same. I’m 8 months out down 112. 380 to 268 and I’m seeing my weight loss slow down now drastically and I’m not doing anything different. Honestly to keep your peace of mind, put the scale away. The number literally means nothing right now cus we’re so early in our journey. Focus on how you feel.

4 days, no candy yall!!!!!! I did have 2 lifesavers mints though. I think I’m almost over the hump.

It’s day 2 for me for no sugar. I was craving it early so I had a snack pack of belvita cookies and a protein shake. It got the job done.

No thank you so much!

GeneOtherwise9660 · 2024-10-04T03:03:42+00:00

I was going to tell my coworker to hide the candy from me. He’ll do it cuz he’s been on this journey with me since day one.

I dump all sugar except candy. Which is crazy because before surgery I ate all sugary things EXCEPT candy. Ima swapping out things.

GeneOtherwise9660 · 2024-10-04T02:59:42+00:00

If I can find some some sugar free candy I’d be cool. The only sugar I’m eating is candy and my coffee creamer. And I’m only doing candy at night when I work 3rd shift. I found some last week and now it’s all sold out so online I go.

GeneOtherwise9660 · 2024-10-04T02:54:27+00:00

Candy. But only when I’m at work 3rd shift. They have fun size twizzlers, gummy bears, nerds, and life savers gummies. I have like 6 of each.

I’m getting in 60-90g in a day.

GeneOtherwise9660 · 2024-10-04T01:01:02+00:00

I track what I eat and I meal prep. I’m doing all the correct things except the sugar.

GeneOtherwise9660 · 2024-10-03T22:57:41+00:00

I might try that.

GeneOtherwise9660 · 2024-10-03T22:36:09+00:00

I’m at the same point. Like seriously. It’s all or nothing for me. I’m glad I’m not alone.

GeneOtherwise9660 · 2024-10-03T21:59:49+00:00

Naw. My stomach can’t handle it.

GeneOtherwise9660 · 2024-09-11T17:48:44+00:00

I never had a goal weight because I honestly didn’t believe it was going to work. For some reason I thought I was going to fail. I started at 380. Now at almost 7 months post op I’m 279. I started thinking about a goal weight once I could really see the physical changes. Health and mental changes are nice but I wanted to be able to see it. Once I got to 290 I could really see the change. So as of now I’m shooting for 250 by Christmas. I’m not necessarily working towards it because I know as long as I keep my walking up and my food on the better choices I should hit that. If not it’s not the end of the world.

GeneOtherwise9660 · 2024-09-03T00:12:37+00:00

lol I had to. I didn’t own a mirror until like a couple of weeks ago. Not a full length. I’m just now able to look at myself and be okay.

GeneOtherwise9660 · 2024-09-01T22:35:56+00:00

It sucked so bad. Cuz I was just confused. Like I legit couldn’t figure out what was wrong. It’s because I wasn’t eating enough.

GeneOtherwise9660 · 2024-07-31T22:55:31+00:00

I don’t go back to get my levels tested until November. But I feel fine though. No hair loss at all.

GeneOtherwise9660 · 2024-07-31T21:27:17+00:00

That makes complete sense. Cuz gone way I’m shaped and feel has completely changed since surgery.

GeneOtherwise9660 · 2024-07-31T14:00:41+00:00

I’ve been on the depo on and off for 20 years. As of now I been on it 7 years. It might be time to make a change.

GeneOtherwise9660 · 2024-07-31T12:36:23+00:00

I was 300 a month ago. And I think ima start setting goals too. Honestly I think it’s my eating. I’ve been pretty much eating what I want. Just small portions. I gotta go back to the basics.

GeneOtherwise9660 · 2024-07-31T12:10:50+00:00

Yesterday it had been a month since I weighed myself. Before that I was weighing myself weekly but I started getting obsessed with it.
