Really Starting To Wonder If Am Meant To Be The Skinny Girl?



Recommended Posts

I have been post op for 3 months and everyone is saying they can see the weight loss in my face and in my belly. Im ok with that but i tell ya i have been fluctuating in between -37 -40 lbs for weeks. i have had slip ups but im a really active person. i find myself getting tired easy but at the same time i have more energy if that makes sense. im just frustrated and i know all the rules and i know i break some of them but man alive. i eat nxt to nothing. I have noticed this past week that i dont get that stuck feeling as soon as i swallow any more. so i eat to fast and have made myself sick 3 times. lol i know i know sloww down. take your time chew your food. i have had the worst head hunger you could imagine lately. so i guess back to basics Water water water and Protein. ugh! anyway thats my gripe for the evening. sometimes i think that they nvr took enough of my stomach. maybe im just obssessing. anyway night all and thanks for listening.

I have these days tooooooo. Today, kinda bored and guess what? I have a lot of head hunger. LOL I need to devise a plan to get rid of the head hunger.

Your body is probably shifting and changing in inches. If we think about it. We didn't gain the weight over night, so it will take time to loose it. But, we have time. You will lose the weight, be patience and give yourself a lot of credit. This is a hard journey on our bodies.

Have you measured yourself? If not, this is the perfect time to take measurements of your body. You can see the inches dissipating really quickly. Your body is working over time now, so sit back and enjoy the ride! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! ;)

I second Dorrie, particularly on breaking out the tape measure. Try hard to embrace this journey and however long it takes... It's on this path that you're going to find the real you. And, try to be the "healthy" girl rather than the "skinny" girl. I know this is mere semantics but I believe in framing and it is rather freeing to focus on healthy rather than skinny.

Best of luck!

Oh hun, you are seeing results and maybe possibly sabatoging your weight loss? Are you tracking your food? It is a real possibility that you are not getting enough calories and this can cause a serious stall. Body then thinks you are starving and will hold all weight.

Reevaluate all of the possibilities. You can do this because you are strong. Hang in there, we are here to cheer you onto your goal weight.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
