Frustrated
Nov 18, 2010
Well I am 3 weeks and 1 day out and I have already hit a stall....is this normal. It is really frustrating to me. I lost 18 pounds in the first two weeks and in the last week and 1 day I have went up and down 5 ounces. UGH!!!!! My surgery went very well and everything has been very textbook for me. I came back to work this Monday and am doing fine. I do get tired a little bit but that has been ok. I just dont understand how I am not losing anything already, just 3 weeks out. Hope I haven't done anything wrong. I am struggling a little bit with what I can/can't eat. I wish everything was in a book and they had recipes to follow everyday. :) That would be my dream, I am such a direction follower. If there was a huge manual to follow full of what to make and what not to make I would be set for life. Just wanted to vent a little. KINDA WORRIED............

I hope it all works out....

Well here is a little bit about me.....
My name is Ashli and I am 24 years old. I have been overweight for most of my life. Not too much when I was a younger adolescent, but as soon as my teenage years started it progressively worse and worse. I was on the Depo shot for birth control throughout high school and that really added to me putting on the weight. I constantly yo-yo dieted and was always trying different over the counter weight loss supplements and fad diets. Nothing EVER worked for me for longer than a few months. I went off the depo shot when I was nineteen to see if I could get my weight under control and ended up getting pregnant. I had a little girl in January 2005. I only gained 22 pounds with my pregnancy and quickly following giving birth I lost 41. But for fear of getting pregnant again I went right back on the depo shot and ballooned back up! Aaaagggghhhhh! I got married in June 2008 and really wanted to lose a bunch of weight prior to putting on my wedding dress. I joined a gym and was working out but still couldn't get the wieght off. Needless to say I did get into my wedding dress and got married but it was definately not the size I wanted it to be. I will have been married to my husband/high school sweetheart 2 years in June. My daughter is now 5 years old and very active. I am really starting to feel like a failure as a parent because it is always an issue keeping up with her. I want to get all this weight off so I can play with my daughter without getting tired. I want sooooo bad to be happy in my own skin. I want to feel as beautiful on the outside as I do on the inside. I have been doctoring for my health issues such as severe sleep apnea and being pre-diabetic. My liver enzyme levels are all out of whack and I am having issues with my galbladder. I havedone all the necessary steps to get the surgery approved by my insurance. I have done the psych evaluation, went to the meetings, and picked out a surgeon. I am currently just waiting for my waiting period to end on my insurance plan, which that happens August 15! I have discussed this with the nurses and decided I will start my high protein diet in July and they should be able to have all the paperwork submitted and it approved as long as it is scheduled for after August 15. I am getting soooo ecited but nervous all at the same time. I really hope that everything works out and gets to go according as planned. I hate to get my hopes all up and things not work out like like I want but I guess it is too late for that. I am DETERMINED to have everything work out like I want and NEED so badly!!! I am hoping to find some support out of this site and be able to talk to others going through the same things that I, myself are going through. If anyone would like to visit with me and share the good and the bad I am waiting and ready to talk to ya!
