Weight Loss Stall

Feb 15, 2016

Ever since my Surgeon told me that I need to lose more weight to guarentee he can do the RYN on me, I've stalled in my weight loss. I don't know what has happened. He told me to go to a 1200 cal a day diet (protein shakes for Breakfast and Lunch and a "Lean Cuisine" sized diiner) and I have tried hard to maintain that, but the scale isn't show it. I've stopped using any fruit that has a high sugar content for my shakes and I only eat low carb, low cal foods. (Pho, Chicken soup (no noodles or rice) oranges, bananas) and I am still the same weight I was last week. I know that I haven't been getting my 30 min of walking a day in, but shouldn't my diet be enough to drop a few pounds? 

I wish he had told me to lose weight sooner. All I was ever told was not to GAIN weight. Apparently, since I am round in the middle (like a man) he may have difficulty doing the RYN and it may become an Open surgery or I'll have to get the Sleeve instead. Part of me is scared that he KNOWS he can't do it and wants me to be prepared and the other part of me thinks that he is just giving me the worst case scenerio because he's had to switch it up mid surgery before. He said it's not common and unlikely, but I should be prepared in case it happens. 

I gotta admit, it took the wind out of my sails a bit. I was on this, losing a pound every day streak and I don't know what happened. I know I couldn't have plateaued yet. I am so big and have so much to lose, if I am trying and making the right decisions, the first 20-30lbs should melt off of me, so why aren't they?

I know that all I can do is take it 1 day at a time and try harder, but I am so tired. I feel like I have been living and breathing this all day, every day, for the past 7 months and to hear that I could mess it up by not losing weight makes me so frustrated. It's a daily struggle not to just throw my hands up and quit.

I won't but damn it...I want to sometimes...
