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

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.

Have you tried looking at before and now photos? Sometimes I feel like that helps my perspective of things!

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.

Wishing you the best,

Jenn

      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.
