So depressed right now



Recommended Posts

I just went for my one week post op appointment today and to my disappointment, I actually gained a pound.

I have been reading where most lose at least 5 to 10 lbs even more the first week and I have not lost anything!

I'm still hungry most of the time. None of the swelling is going down and my stomach looks the same as it did the day of surgery.

I need encouragement!! Has this happened to anyone else?

It's all the fluids from surgery didn't they tell you that at the appt? It's not unusual.

Please don't be so hard on yourself. It will work I promise. Everyone loses at different rates. I actually gained 5 pounds the first week because of all the liquid, ivs and I wasn't able to poop lol sorry for the tmi. You will be ok.

I had my surgery on Friday. Came home on Saturday night was 12 pounds heavier. Not what you want to see after having your stomach removed. Today is Monday and I've lost 9 pounds of what must be fluids. I'm still 3 pounds heavier than day of surgery. What a journey.

Please, as was said do not be too hard on yourself. My surgery is scheduled for next Wednesday (7/30) and my surgical team told me to expect temporary weight gain after surgery. So, hold your head up. Remember, the key word here is "temporary"

It isn't fat. Relax and just follow your program. You'll see losses on the scale soon enough.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
