You look like you've gained weight



Recommended Posts

I'm venting here :-D this is what a co worker told me the other day... Now my scale has been broken but I was just at my moms and after a long stall I had dropped 5lbs in a week. And I know it's correct cus I would weight myself home and her house and the doc and its always been the same. Now this is the only person that ever said a negative thing about me having RNY and since I have her weight has ballooned big time.... But this statement has just stuck with me :-/ I finally ended up asking a friend yesterday... Who I trust would tell me the truth... If I looked like I've gotten bigger. She looked at me like I was crazy :-) I just don't understand people. I've been open and honest about my journey and my struggles with food... Emotional eating and changing years of bad habits. And I've been open about how my second biggest struggle is seeing who I am now. Some times I look in the mirror and see zero weight loss. I've talked about this with her and fears I'd gain it all back.... Ugh! Well thanks for listening :-) reading:-) hope everyone has a great Monday :-D

By the way... Down 140lbs :-D

You look fantastic and keep up the great work. Stick to your eating plan, exercise and you will do fine. I have at time gained a few lbs but then took them off immediately. I also have had stalls...but I always stuck with the plan !!!

pfft, sounds like your coworker was being a bi%%h. She knows the trials you've gone through and needed to feel better by making you feel bad. It happens. Next time just be like, OMG. I was JUST thinking the same about you! Or ignore it. You know you haven't gained and you said she HAS. Jealousy.

I have to agree with the others, your co worker is very jealous of you. Don't let her get to you. I am 5 weeks post op and I have a friend who has been very supportive of me since the beginning but now she can see some changes in me and once in awhile she makes remarks. If it gets any worse I am going to look for a new friend. Changes are hard on people!!!! Keep the faith.

You've done a fantastic job and you look fabulous.

It seems her negative comment probably stems from jealousy. Besides some people only see what they want to see.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
