You look like you've gained weight



Recommended Posts

I'm venting here :-D this is what a co worker told me the other day... Now my scale has been broken but I was just at my moms and after a long stall I had dropped 5lbs in a week. And I know it's correct cus I would weight myself home and her house and the doc and its always been the same. Now this is the only person that ever said a negative thing about me having RNY and since I have her weight has ballooned big time.... But this statement has just stuck with me :-/ I finally ended up asking a friend yesterday... Who I trust would tell me the truth... If I looked like I've gotten bigger. She looked at me like I was crazy :-) I just don't understand people. I've been open and honest about my journey and my struggles with food... Emotional eating and changing years of bad habits. And I've been open about how my second biggest struggle is seeing who I am now. Some times I look in the mirror and see zero weight loss. I've talked about this with her and fears I'd gain it all back.... Ugh! Well thanks for listening :-) reading:-) hope everyone has a great Monday :-D

By the way... Down 140lbs :-D

You look fantastic and keep up the great work. Stick to your eating plan, exercise and you will do fine. I have at time gained a few lbs but then took them off immediately. I also have had stalls...but I always stuck with the plan !!!

pfft, sounds like your coworker was being a bi%%h. She knows the trials you've gone through and needed to feel better by making you feel bad. It happens. Next time just be like, OMG. I was JUST thinking the same about you! Or ignore it. You know you haven't gained and you said she HAS. Jealousy.

I have to agree with the others, your co worker is very jealous of you. Don't let her get to you. I am 5 weeks post op and I have a friend who has been very supportive of me since the beginning but now she can see some changes in me and once in awhile she makes remarks. If it gets any worse I am going to look for a new friend. Changes are hard on people!!!! Keep the faith.

You've done a fantastic job and you look fabulous.

It seems her negative comment probably stems from jealousy. Besides some people only see what they want to see.

      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.
