Gaining Weight

[Jesser 295]

Soooo, since I have decided on weight loss surgery in March, I've probably gained an additional 15 pounds because I'm eating more now... I guess it's because I know that I'm not going to be able to eat like this anymore, so I'm packing on more weight. It's really depressing me... Had anyone else done this?

lol I had more food funerals than I care to admit! I kept thinking... Oh, I can't eat that for a long time??? better stock up on it! I think it is something we all do.

I had to do 6 months with a NUT so even though I ate everything I wasn't supposed to I was a bit more careful so I didn't gain a bunch and then have to weigh in. As soon as I was approved that was all out the window. It was a free for all until I started my 10 day pre op diet. It was almost a relief to start it!

I'm definitely having a food funeral every day now.... Lol if something happens and I don't get this surgery, I'm in trouble!!!

Yes, I did for several weeks. And then I got sick of eating. I was shoveling in food and felt like crap. Since then I have found that I haven't been eating ridiculous amounts, and I'm making better choices now. I get sleeved next week.

Even though I knew I wasn't doing a good thing to myself, I didn't feel inclined to stop until I felt ill. And now I'm in a slightly more sane state of mind I realise that I have extra kgs to lose....bummer. I hope you can get it under control

I am on my six month supervised diet and am having a hard time staying on the diet. I lost in the beginning and kept it off but at my last appt they told me I should lose 5 more before my next appointment as it would go along way towards me getting approved. Instead I have been eating lots of things I shouldnt and have gained 5 instead. I have 10 days to lose the 10 pounds and I am pretty sure I can get it off at least I hope I can.

Stop doing that! I binged and acted like every meal was my last the month before surgery and I gained about 10-15 lbs. It caused stretch marks on the outside of my upper arms that I can never get rid of. They weren't there before that last month

i would say its probably normal i had something up about this the other day. you know what i have realised about me is that i am just not ^dieting^ !! what i mean is that even though Im over weight i still probably started every day with a diet i would have strayed from it nearly every day but plenty of times during the day i would have denied my self food in the name of that days diet ! but now leading up to surgery since its been confirmed i have stopped all diet attempts until i start the liquid diet next week. if i want to eat i eat. if i feel my hubby is looking at me cos Im eating again Im saying so what it will be over soon.

i know its not healthy but i think it might be part of the journey.

also i was banded and had it removed so i know what restriction is think this is what's makin me eat

don't be too hard on your self
