Emotional Rollercoaster



Recommended Posts

Today is day 6 and my emotions are all over the place. I'm happy because I FINALLY get to eat something other than a Protein shake! It has been a long road. On the other hand I am TERRIFIED to step on a scale. I have not weighed myself since surgery day. *302* I was shocked to learn that I actually lost weight BEFORE I got banded. I've struggled my entire adult life and half my childhood with my weight. I keep thinking its too good to be true. What if I still weigh 302 or even worse what if I GAIN weight?!?

Congratulations!!!!!!

Some people don't get on the scale except in their doctor's office. Then there is me who weighs them self toooo many times a day. My advice, don't get hooked on a number, get hooked on smaller size clothes. The smaller size clothes are super.

I find weighing myself once a day or once every other day really helps. I always know where I am.. not getting on a scale resulted in my weighting so much.. well and also eating bad thiings. lol we all go through a rollercoaster of emotions.. its natural. I wish you well on your new journey!

Thanks everyone. Since I don't own a scale I think I'm gonna go to my aunts house (who had gastric bypass) and at least weigh myself once a week.

Just be sure to weigh yourself around the same time of the day since you do fluctuate during the day. Best wishes.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
