July Gastric Bypass?



Recommended Posts

My surgery was 7/31/18 n I feel like a failure. HW 309 SW 292 CW 237. Have been fluctuating between 235 n 240 since Dec. I’m sticking pretty much to diet n 3 wks ago started working out 3 days a week n still no change. Can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Simply frustrated n feeling like a failure. Got so angry at myself so I self sabotaged n ate 2 glazed 7-11 donuts after dinner n then ate 1 cup of spaghetti w zoodles. I knew what I was doing was wrong but felt like it didn’t matter because I can’t seem to lose anymore weight anyway. I’m simply lost.

Maybe you’re gaining muscle from working out, try meeting with your nutritionist... don’t be so hard on yourself.. slow n steady wins the race

T don’t be too hard on yourself, you’ve noted that your lost and looking for help. My suggestion would be speak to a therapist to find out why old negative behaviours are returning, I’ve had moments like this too. Also if your on Facebook there are lots of Bariatric support groups, also there is a reset diet which is basically resetting the pouch with two days of liquid like we did right at the beginning, look for this on Facebook for what to follow and as nutsesmiley80 said, speak to your nutritionist. You can get back on track! Exercise takes time as you need to work on building muscle, the scales don’t move but your body changes shape. More muscle mass burns fat more efficiently. It’s a journey not a quick fix. Stay strong and reach out to your team

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
