15 Lbs Before I Get A Date



Recommended Posts

And now here's my whine- get the cheese. My surgeon requires all patients to lose 5% body weight before even a date gets set! I thought 'no biggie! I'll just drink shakes most of the time'. I really didn't realize how dependent I was on food. What do I do when I'm stressed or upset?! I eat.

So, I've been back and forth on these first 5 pounds lost. And now I'm starting stressed over the last 10! This is a terrible test. Worst one yet. What's with this dang self sabotage!

I've been planning and cooking dinner for my family and then fixing a shake for me. And tonight my boys weren't hungry and hubby was too busy to stop and eat. Screw this! Make dinner I can't eat so no one will eat it?! So my response was eat my bariatric Protein bars because there was nothing sweet in the house.

I just feel even more isolated from my family than before. I feel under so much pressure to just lose the weight. If I had a date, my drive would be stronger. It's hard to bust my hump for a hypothetical.

Sigh. Just a big whine. Having a pretty good pity party I guess

      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! 😞
