Eating bad. Not losing weight. Vomiting. Depressed. Not much more to say.

Why are you eating bad? Is it because you don't know what will make you sick? Or do you want foods you shouldn't eat even though they make you sick?

The problem is I Don't get sick. Just got up hungry in the middle of the night and had fruit Snacks. I know I'm gonna wake up in the morning and get a small iced caramel turtle coffee. I'm making myself vomit to the point where my surgeon is considering me to show bulimic tendencies. I'm not strong enough for this. I always feel hungry (atleast at work) and I thought I wasn't supposed to be be, I need help and I'm sad and not strong enough for this.

I don't get sick ether. I wondered if you mention you make your self sick . It is ok to have small Snacks. Do you have someone in your life who is supportive ? Or maybe it is time to go to the physiologist ? There have been a few other people on this site who are struggling with the same thing maybe it would help to connect to them if I see there post again I will give you the info. Rny is no joke many people struggle with different things. My mom had rny 15 years ago and now has a drinking problem she refuses to get help.please seek help before it gets to far ahead of you best of luck .

Yeah I make myself vomit cos it doesn't just happen anymore when I'm nauseous. I understand the surgery doesn't solve anything but when I'm trying and going to the gym and I step on the scale and I'm a pound more

It ruins my whole day. This definitely isn't the easy way out and I'm struggling

We are at about the same weight loss I started at 300 and currently at 193 I am stalling a lot now and have been Siting between 195 and 193 for a few weeks I also work out and often as I am gaining muscles the scale goes up. Don't be to hard on your self you need the food to loose or else you will go into starvation mode. I know you may know all this already. When did you have your rny ?

What everyone has said is correct, but one thing that has not been mentioned completely is that muscle weighs more than fat.

I have stayed at the same weight give or take 4-5 pounds. However I am working hard on building muscle. People keep telling me I look like I am still losing weight, but I am not losing in the scale. If you are working out a lot you must provide fuel for your body. You need food in order to continue to drop weight. You need your Protein, and calories.

Try not to focus on the number on the scale. It is just a silly number. It means nothing in this journey in my opinion.

I did this to get healthy and live a full and active life. I did not do this to step on a little machine hoping it shows weight loss.

Do you have non scale goals that you are working toward? Try to find some other way to measure your success. I measure success by buying new clothes or how much of my feet I see in the shower. My scale is not moving, but every week I can see a little bit more of my feet and clothes are fitting better and better.

As for your doctor saying those things to you - I really think you need to talk to him about it. Tell him that those comments are putting unhealthy thought in your head. I also think you should talk to a professional about the feelings and thoughts you are having. With this journey many of us are brought face to face with inner demons that we did not know were there. It is a crucial part of the journey to make this a long term success. This is just a tool, the challenge is retraining our brains to look at life through healthy eyes.

Please understand everyone one of us have come up against an inner demon during our journey.

Good luck!

Seek help....making yourself vomit is sooo unhealthy. You risk a perforated esophagus, not to mention bulimia.

I am in therapy, I haven't been in a few weeks and I haven't talked about this yet, this is all new problems cropping up. I know I shouldn't make myself sick but it gives me control and I don't feel so bad if I ate something I shouldn't. I'm just so scared that iced coffee or the occasional treat is going to ruin my pouch and I can't seem to get a straight answer from the surgeon. I meet with the nutritionist on Wednesday so we will see what she says. I know what I need to do, doing it is the problem.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
