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.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
