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

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
