ShabbyLoser

Hi! New to this but hoping this forum will help. I am 3 mos post op VSG and I am the worst loser! My starting weight on surgery day was 286 lbs (my heighest weight was 312 lbs). At 8 weeks, I had lost 16 lbs. That doesn't seem like much? I did have a 10 period of constipation that put me in the ER for 7 hours one day. And I didn't eat anything at all for 3 days during that time. But since then, I've actually gained 3 lbs at my 3 mos. checkup last week. My surgeon was genuinely disappointed and surprised. One of my problems is that NOTHING bothers my stomach - I can literally eat anything. And quantity seems to be a non-issue as well. And I've definitely fallen off the wagon tracking. SO - I need to get back on track NOW. I didn't do the surgery to allow this to happen to me. Any help is appreciated!!

You guys are wonderful. I actually feel like someone cares and understands. The past few days have been MUCH better. I'm logging EVERYTHING and making most of my meals ahead of time again. I live alone so this way I can just heat and eat and not "deviate". I feel newly motivated. I also realized I'm not actually drinking 64 oz. of water!!! My bottle is only 28 oz which is only 56 oz if I drink 2 - yikes!! I am also taking 15 min. each morning to do something physical before getting for work - weights, leg lifts, or a few mins. on the Gazelle - yup!! I have one of those!!

Thank you everyone! And you're right - I have failed at my tracking so I will definitely be doing that again immediately. Seeing it in writing does make a difference so thank you!
