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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
