I recently hit my doctor goal of losing 100 pounds since my surgery and I'm not sure if I got to comfy or confident but all the sudden within like a week I had gain 4 pounds. It totally freaked me out so bad because I am so scared to go back to where I have been. I started working out again because I had become a slacker and I started eating better and I am back down to the goal weight, but man that was a wake up call. Anyone else have this happen? I think it has made me realize that this is a lifetime commitment to being a healthier person. But I have also become super obsessed with every tiny fluctuation in my weight now. PSW: 270 lbs CW: 165 lbs My Goal: 145 lbs

Weight Fluctuation Nightmare
JessieTinez22 replied to JessieTinez22's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks so much MargoCL. I agree and I am thankful everyday for the tool given to me. -
I was reminded today that I have posted in quite some time. I am doing great! I am down 102 pounds from my highest weight and need to lose 3 pounds to get to the doctors goal weight for me of 165. I actually want to get down to 150, but my family thinks that I am getting to skinny! LOL imagine someone telling me that! I have had some stalls and am guilty of weighing myself everyday, but so far so good. When I have a stall or that dreaded teeter totter of bouncing back and forth one or 2 pounds I just adjust my eating and exercise and I start losing again, it has not been easy. It's so exciting to be able to play with my granddaughter and hike and work out and not feel like I am going to kill over. I have also become a sounding board for people that are thinking of have the procedure and that feels good. Over all this has been a godsend for me.

OCTOBER SLEEVERS CHECK IN HERE
JessieTinez22 replied to RomAnca's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That is so true. I went through some depression and anxiety when I first had my surgery and husband and kids just didn't understand. It was nice to find people who had been through it to talk to. It helped me tremendously. -

So happy to hear that you are back on track. I agree the forum is super helpful and I am available if you need to talk or vent anytime. I think having a support system is what is going to get us through these huge changes. -

OCTOBER SLEEVERS CHECK IN HERE
JessieTinez22 replied to RomAnca's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I agree completely. I was getting frustrated because I had a stall and then I realized man I have lost 44 pounds in about 2 1/2 months and I am down 6 pant sizes!! I feel so much better and have joined the gym. It's so nice to walk across the room and not lose my breath. I have 1 year to lose 100 pounds (goal set by the doctor) I can do this! -
My name is Jessica and I had a gastric sleeve done on October 26, 3017. I started out at 265 lbs and at 2 weeks post surgery I was at 241 lbs. I haven't weighed myself since that day. I don't want to constantly worry about what I'm losing. I have had

Pre op Liquid diet SOOOO hard
JessieTinez22 replied to Jayluv's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Dinner time was the hardest for me too. I usually tried to save my 1 Greek yogurt per day for that time so I could feel like I was eating or I ate a sugar free popsicle. I also tried to go for a walk or find something to do so I wasn't watching my family eat. Good luck it is worth it in the end, but this is just the beginning -
OCTOBER SLEEVERS CHECK IN HERE
JessieTinez22 replied to RomAnca's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on October 26th. I was amazed at how quickly I recovered. I have had so many surgeries and have never recovered so quickly. I have lost about 26 pounds as of my 2 week appointment. I don't weigh myself because I'm afraid honestly of what the scale says. I can barely get food in I take 2 or 3 bits and instantly get nauseous and pain but I try. I'm afraid I'm not losing weight but when I look in the mirror I can see progress. I go through bouts of a little depression because I'm afraid I will just start gaining weight again......but I am determined to make this work. Its nice already having my clothes fall off. -

Heck ya it does. I felt like I had been kicked and of course thought what the Heck did I do that messed something up in there! -
Stabbing/burning Pain
JessieTinez22 replied to nicole836's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm so glad I read this I am just past the 3 week post op date and I suddenly started having this burning pain like someone kicked me in the tummy. Sounds like it happens about this time to most. I will tell my doc at my appointment Wednesday but I'm not freaking out as bad as I was. -

Pre op Liquid diet SOOOO hard
JessieTinez22 replied to Jayluv's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The only thing that got me through it was sugar free popsicles and sugar free jello. I made sure to save that one thing for dinner time so I felt like I was "eating" something good. Sent from my LG-H872 using BariatricPal mobile app
