My surgery was 10/26/22

Weight was 247

Cw. 199.

I'm not eating much or tracking my intake. I walk about a mile about workout 2 times a week. I'm not losing belly fat at all.

I feel I'm doing very poorly.. and all my hair is falling out. I feel like crying all the time it didn't help my mother died a month ago and all I've done was sit.. I'm so sad

Hi GiGi, I am so very sorry that you lost your Mother. That in itself is enough to rock anyone to their core. Having gone through that loss myself, I cannot encourage you enough to seek help from a grief counselor. Everything else will fall into place.

Of course you are. Your mother died. You should look for professional help to process your grief.

I'm sorry for the loss of you mother, Gigi. Weight-wise you've done GREAT! Be kind to yourself right now and don't focus on your weight. Try to follow the diet program as much as your grief will allow.

Grief counseling or group meetings definitely help. Our local hospice had free group meetings and a local church does as well. Sorry about your Mom, it’s such a difficult loss. I agree with the others, focus on what you need more than beating yourself up worrying about your weight.

Oh Gigi, I’m so sorry about your mom. That is a really hard thing to go through. Sounds like you are in stage 4 of grief. Google the stages of grief. Give yourself some extra care & seek help. Maybe your primary care doc can give you something to help you deal with everything. Medications don’t make our problems go away, they just help us to deal with them better.

I'm so sorry for your loss! Seek help from a therapist or grief support group, but also, take care of your body. Your Hair loss is likely made worse if you are not taking your Vitamins and if you are not getting enough Protein. Get the help you need to get back on track. Hugs!

This saddens me. I recently suffered a great loss as well. I am so sorry you had to go through this. If you are able to, I hope you can reach out to those close to you, and/or a therapist to help you with all of this.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
