Weight Gain Frustration

By Boo_68

· 530 views

Ok, since my slippage surgery on 9/21 I have been dropping weight like crazy and my Doc was worried about the weight loss. Now 4 weeks out from surgery I'm up 5 lbs...out of no where. I stopped doing the protein shakes, Doc gave me the approval to go ahead and try to eat...and so far its been great. I'm able to eat almost anything in small quantities...including bread/pasta and chicken...all of which I couldn't eat prior to this. Makes me wonder, was my band misplaced improperly to begin with...and did the Doc miss it??? Anyhow I'm working out like a crazy woman and the scale just keeps going up and up....I was 6 lbs below goal and now 5 lbs over....11 lbs COME ON. I'm feeling discourage and frustrated and hunger has set in...making Christy a very grumpy girl. I go in for my first fill on Nov. 5th and I cannot wait to get back on track again. Well I'm taking my "lil weight gaining self" to the gym....2nd workout for the day. I CANNOT FAIL!!!!:thumbup:

    I'm sooo sorry. when I get that way I eat only fish, chicken or turkey baked and veggies ( no corn) and berries like blackberries, blueberries and strawberries. I eat 5x a day 1/2 each time. No dairy, No condiments and no Salt (ms.dash). Its like the micheal thurmond makeover diet. I drink lots of water and it really works. Hope u make it till fill. Maybe they will let u come in earlier. How did ur band slip?

    Thank you, maybe I do need to really look at what I'm eating...My band slipped from vomitting with the Flu. Doc said I can't come in earlier...I need to let my body heal :)
