Slightly freaking iut



Recommended Posts

My nutrition appointment is Tuesday and I have gained weight so I’m freaking out. I don’t want this to effect everything I’ve been working for. I told my nutritionist that this always happens and she insisted it was in my head. I had lost about 16lbs and then I was on a stand still for 2 months. Whenever I hit a plateau, my weight just starts coming back, like no matter what I do I gain. I’m so stressed out about this. Does anyone know if this is going to mess up everything I’ve been working towards? I’m right at the end, about to submit paperwork next month. I’m at a loss for what to do

I lost 15 lbs then right before surgery I gained back 9lbs (it was my last thanksgiving with old stomach!). It was no problem. My surgeon said that some people don’t lose anything and that wasn’t a problem either. In fact, it’s a reason we get this surgery. Other methods (diet and exercise) haven’t worked for us.

From my first appointment, I gained 20 lbs over the 6 months of weigh-ins leading up to submitting to insurance. UHC approved my surgery.

Hopefully my insurance is understanding. Thank you both for your replies. The gain is super upsetting for me

When you started your program they weighed you. That is your starting weight. As long as you don't go over that starting weight I don't think you should have any worries.

I definitely didn’t get to that point. Thank you

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
