After WLS, I Gain A Little Weight When I eat at parties and events because I cannot control the calories in the food & when I pretend calories don't count for me, they obviously do 😳

An accurate kitchen scale. I had one I had been using for months and the day before surgery it started acting wonky. Just needed a new battery but it hadn't been on my radar and I had to send my hubs on a battery hunt the day after I got home. Sent from my SM-G960W using BariatricPal mobile app

I saw mine once before surgery, had a phone conversation and have seen her twice post-op. She's available to me at no charge at any time.

After WLS, I Gain A Little Weight When…… I go on vacation and eat what I want and don’t weigh myself. Now that I’m years out, the weight gain is fast and its slow to get back off.

Gatorade zero and Vitamin water zero. Regular water didn’t taste right to me for several months.

This is a great question. I look forward to hearing some answers. I was thinking I will have some bone broth. Did anyone have their spouse/relative make some stock for them?

Thank you :-) So empathise! Had another one I didn’t give in to the previous week. Drove myself to central Newcastle for a specialist appointment. Wasn’t without tension finding it, parking and getting done what I had to get done and really felt I deserved a ‘reward’. In my consultancy road warrior days used to regularly treat stuff picked up from service stations as somehow lesser calories cos I didn’t have much choice of places to grab food. So nearly swung into the McDonald’s that day, but pictured the nutrition charts and swigged down the drink instead. Starting to trust myself more :-)

@catwoman7 thanks for explaining some of the things you did pre-surgery and how they helped; and well done on your weight loss .... it's really helping reading a little of others experiences @GradyCat congratulations on the weight you've lost since surgery; and that's so encouraging to read that the surgery has helped you with the emotional eating as well; and to know i'm not alone in wondering regarding the hunger compared to emotional eating issue. Thanks for what you've shared @Orchids&Dragons thanks very much for your reply here. Definitely not something to do as a first option. i've done the loss, maintain, regain thing ........ a number of times. I've read some of the stories of sabotage after wls, and this is definitely something i want avoid, and to try and sort through before the surgery and find ways to reduce that happening. So working on my head, and finding new coping tools; that will then help with the surgery (as another tool) seems to be the direction I need to be taking

I really just wanna talk to a dieitian. I've taken some random advice from people on FB and here and I ended up gaining some weight. I printed out the last 2 full months of daily food logs and emailed them to the dieitian for my appt. on Wednesday. I hope she can help. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using BariatricPal mobile app
