I had Gastric sleeve done in June 2017. Everything was going good and 2 months ago I lost my dad and my dog all within the same week. I’m suffering from high anxiety between dealing with my emotional loss and preparing for my wedding in 3 months. Now I’m just eating to eat and I’m scared to gain my weight back. Any tips? Have anyone done a pouch reset? How can I get back on track?

So sorry for your loss

Does your provider offer support group or can you look into some type of additional support that can help on top of a reset?

Thank you and I didn’t think to call my insurance to find out. My mind is a blank these days. I will reach out to them tomorrow to see.

search out and find that help.

take up meditation, Post op is mostly a mental game and you have a tough situation on your hands.

This emotional trip your on will show up in your weight but the cure is in your head so please seek out that counseling.

as for a reset i would recommend 16/8 IF

I am sorry for the things you dealing with right now. I know both the pains you are dealing with and it is not an easy time to work thru.

good luck and i hope the wedding gives you a new start.

Thank you allwet. I am doing counseling but mentally it’s still hard. I know I have to break this cycle before it gets worse.

It is difficult. @LCamacho83 my sincere condolences to you. I can relate as I have experienced loss of my mother as a child and my aunt and uncle in adult life. I can tell you that my weight gain as a child and young adult contributed alot from the loss of my mother. My aunt and uncle raised me after she passed. To cope with loss, my uncle would often take me out to eat or treat me to a very unhealthy diet. You can see where I am going with this....

It wasn't until after their deaths, that I needed to go talk to someone. Therapy HELPS IMMENSELY! I haven't gone back since I've had my son July 2016 but I KNOW I need to. I need to do it for myself. No one else!

I wish you well on your journey! If you get off track, there are always people to pick you up! You just have to look for them! Good Luck

@jodi1980 thank you. I am seeing someone but my eating is getting out of control and I’m worried that I might of expanded my sleeve. I have to get my mind in control and get back on board with my healthy eating and the gym.

Hi there, how are you doing?

I figured out another reason I was fat- I thought I was a? caterpillar. They eat a lot, go to sleep and wake up beautiful. Thought I was going to be a lovely colorful butterfly but I guess I'm just a clothing moth after all!
