Stress Through The Roof!



Recommended Posts

Today marks four weeks and although every single day I've weighed in lower than today- today I'm up. Does stress do that? I feel like this was the icing on the cake for me today.

I don't get along with my hubby, going back to work tomorrow where I dread due to politics, I was supposed to go in for follow up ultra sound on my ovaries today but cancelled because I'm sick and tired of everything. I am NOT having a good day today. Woah is me. Usually I tell mysel to get over it but I don't want to. I'm sick of everything :(

I normally would NEVER post something like this but right now I feel this forum is the only place I have for support. Well I have my dogs :). I also have so many friends but I don't want to involve them in my same old same old. Wish I was rich and could just move away. And yes- sometimes I think moving away from your problems isn't always a bad thing.

We all have days like this. When I feel like that, I actually get out of the house. Go see a funny movie - get a pedi done. If that's not an option then pick a project in the house that you can do that will make you feel better when it's over. Tomorrow will be better - just focus on getting through today. **hugs**

It sounds like you have alot of hormones today. It is normal to go up some, you will lose more weight, really soon. Please reschedule your appointment for your ultra sound asap. Take care of yourself and perhaps I may suggest some counseling for you and your hubby if he's willing, it can do wonders for you.. :)

I feel like I am going through almost the same as you in every way. Hang in there. From everything I have read, this too shall pass. But man, stepping on the scale this morning and not seeing it move for the second week in a row is discouraging. But there is no way we can be consuming the calories we used to- it's gotta come off.

You are not alone. I'm not feeling any connection to anything right now and its depressing. I even had a dream about moving away and starting over somewhere else- crazy. I hope it is a little comforting to know you aren't alone today and that we not meaning just us, will get through this. Hang in there- keep coming back here.

One day at a time girlfriend....however, if you do decide to run away, I'll be waiting for the horn to honk but it needs to be somewhere tropical (lol). I was thinking piña coladas on a beach somewhere!!!

Thank you all so much- truly I feel like a big mess and have some anxiety about returning to work tomorrow.

Whoever posted about counseling. Well being a therapist and now supervising behavioral health- I want to say that's an awesome suggestion, however, been there done that. We r past that point.

I do think the hormone point is probabaly valid too. I'm a mess all of a sudden. And again- being off a mont and returning tomorrow scares me a bit.

Thank you all so so much. Xxxxoooo

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
