3 months out anger and mad at the world
Hint_switch and one other reacted to ChubRub for a post in a topic
I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I would make an appt with your PCP to discuss. Irritability is a common symptom of anxiety (as is poor sleep), so perhaps some low dose meds or counseling would help if that's the case? Best of luck to you!! -

Hormone changes after surgery?
AZhiker and one other reacted to Arabesque for a post in a topic
There are a few other hormones besides oestrogen stored in our fat too including ones that regulate our appetite, insulin, metabolism & blood pressure. You may find that these go a bit crazy too. My cholesterol levels also went up as I lost weight & then settled back at it’s normal range after I hit my goal. -

Do you have an awesome doctor?
Horseshowmom reacted to dal101 for a post in a topic
Thats so sweet 😊 I think I had a really good surgeon. I did mine inthe UK at parkside hospital with Dr . Vasilikosta. I have social anxiety so I am not easy to be around . But he was really nice to me, friendly and understanding. We bumped elbows (instead of fist bumping , because covid) at the end haha. The surgery itself went really well. I woke up with little pain, not much gas pain and could drink relatively easily. -

I lost 23 pounds the first month HOWEVER, you started out at a hundred pounds less than me. So 17 pounds in the first month is fantastic! Be proud, you're doing great! -
1 pointI don't know if yours is hormone-related or not, but a lot of women DO experience hormone dumps after surgery. It'll usually stabilize a few weeks or months after the weight loss slows down.

Coffee...oh how I miss it
sizemedown reacted to kellym1220 for a post in a topic
I think it's all about moderation. I bought decaf and at my first post follow up, I mentioned that the decaf wasn't doing it for me. My surgeon asked how much coffee I drank and I said one large cup each morning and that's it. He said it would be fine. I stopped using creamer and started using Premier Protein Caramel or Fairlife Vanilla plus collagen protein, so it's a protein bomb too! -

Week 3 soft foods and weight gain
JoanneLaRusch reacted to catwoman7 for a post in a topic
you're in the three-week stall. Happens to almost everyone. Just stick to your program and stay off the scale if you have to. It usually lasts 1-3 weeks. as for the 2 lb bump up, if you've been following your plan, that's not a true weight gain. Could be water retention or constipation. Or maybe a hormone-related gain. Just give it a couple of days. -

Regained weight support
Zom B reacted to nicolemcc1 for a post in a topic
Excellent point, and agreed. I felt very taken aback by the response bc I didn’t feel like the OP came here for the straight talk and some of the responses were directed at things I had said. In either case, I realize the forum is open to all types of individuals, some of us need or want positive reinforcement while others are looking for the opposite. Regardless, let’s all make today a great day! 😀
