Aribay1 198 Posted January 14, 2015 I know I posted this somewhere but I just can't stop being upset at the most random time. I STILL FEEL 259LBS! I am now 215lbs almost under 200 but I don't see it going down. I go to the gym 4-5 times a week zumba and lifting is all I do. Should I add more cardio since I'm gaining muscle (which is possibly why the scale won't move) I'm just sad lately from time to time. I knew depression might kick in but I didn't think so soon. I'm 11 weeks post op Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted January 14, 2015 Relax. Breathe. I think it just takes time for our perceptions to catch up with reality. Have you talked with a professional (your Dr., a counselor/therapist) about your feelings? Your body and your mind are going through a lot of rapid change so be gentle with yourself.

Thank you for answering My next appointment with my doctor and NUT is the 28 so I'll see if I need to change anything. And I found a support group closer to home that I'll go to Monday.

Healthy_life2 8,324 Posted January 14, 2015 @@Aribay1 It will take time for you're mind to catch up with you're body. I do work with a therapist on my body issues. Some of us adapt quicker to recognize what we look like. I still see a distorted version of me. But I'm working on it. You are almost to Onderland!!!!! Celebrate big. You have earned every pound lost. I hope you kept some clothing from before surgery. They are good to put back on and remind you of how far you have come.
