Scare that I will gain a lot of weight back :-(



Recommended Posts

I am leaving for Thailand in a few weeks and will be there for 5 weeks. I grew up there so I love all Thai food. Right now I have some restriction but I am not there yet so the lbs that I've lost is mainly will power.

I am scared that I will gain a lot of weight back from having not so much restriction. Well, like this past week, I have been dealing with H1N1 flu in my house. All of my kids got it, my almost 2 year old just got diagnosed yesterday. My mom and sisters (they watch them for me when I work) got it too and is still dealing with it. As for me, I am going to urgent care tonight and see what is going on with me (I am sick but no fever). I have already gained weight just by eating something that make me feel good and not counting calories and it has been only a week. I am going to Thailand for 5 weeks and probably won't be able to prepare my own meals. I am so paranoid over this :sad:

My doctor will not give me a fill since he said it would be hard for me to find a lap band doctor there in case I need an unfil or something.

I need some advice please.

Thank you so much,

My advice is this. If I were you, I would not worry too much about gaining weight. Going on the trip will be stressful, which will tighten your band. Also, don't pig out. Enjoy yourself, but in moderation. Have fun, and when you come back, diet like normal people do when they go on vaccation and eat too much. Don't be afraid to be normal. And another thing, all that spicy food might upset your band and give you more restriction too. Do NOT get a fill before you leave...your doc is right. Stop stressing and have fun. Keep busy and don't make the vaccation about food. I am excited for you- have a blast!

Thank you for calming me down. I am so excited to go since the last time I saw my family it was almost 6 years ago :-( I am going to try my best though and just have fun spending my time with my family and let my kids enjoy their vacation too :sad:

Thanks again.

      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.
