Cannot sleep thinking about my weight



Recommended Posts

Does anyone else have this problem, where you sleep like crap because you are worried about not losing when you step in the scale in the morning ? Man is this what my life has come to? Any-who, I am sure this too will pass as I get farther along. I turned one month yesterday (I almost feel like I am talking about pregnancy) except in this case I gave birth to a stomach that I named lucifer. Ok going to try to go to sleep now.

Ha, ha! You crack me up! But I totally get it - I was the same way, especially in the first 3 or 4 mos post op. But the good news is that it does get better, and you won't be so obsessed the farther out you get :D

sleep like crap because you are worried about not losing when

cutesingle

the immediate answer to your question is "NO" - i was lucky and my mind turned off when it was bedtime and i slept well :)

early PO i was so tired that i nodded off pretty quickly :) don' know what time it was cuz i was asleep :lol:

i know you are going to lose weight :)

its inevitable that the weight will come off - your stomach is now 85% smaller than it used to be, you can't and won't eat too much

i know you are following all the rules with drinking and eating - you will be successful, i promise!!!

but....don't hurry the process thinking you will lose one gazillion lbs in a week, don't lose sleep over how much you are or aren't losing in a week

don' ever compare your small or large weight losses to anyones elses on the board - or anywhere, ok??

easier said than done, but you gotta calm down and get your necessary rest

your typing away on the computer making all sorts of noise - its 3:38 am :mellow: - i knew i heard something - it was you?? ;)

close your pretty eyes, count chicken breasts or yogurt :lol:

good night!!! :)

I had my hubby hide the scale and only let me weigh once a week.

I worried a lot about that initially. Every time the scale didn't budge I got frustrated. Then, I started tracking my weight daily (or almost daily - I only record the days I lose weight :D). What I found is that my body, for whatever reason, likes to lose in fits and starts. I'll lose for a few days, then I won't lose a day or two, then lose some more, then not lose. By learning what my body does, it took away that "I'm not losing anything!" fear so that if, like yesterday, I didn't lose anything, I knew either today or tomorrow, I'd drop some weight.

      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! 😞
