Weight Gain....OMG!



Recommended Posts

When I started this process I could not believe there was any way to gain weight. You could only eat this little amount or you'll be ill....This doesn't taste good, that doesn't set well....Well I was wrong....Over the holidays at Christmas I finally had a chance to bake and did I...My kitchen looked like the Keebler Elfs kitchen...Every counter filled, then Cookies boxed up and counters re-filled...Well stupid me fell into that cookie dough habit and gained 4lbs. over 2 months....And I have had issues going on at home, mother in a pre-dimentia state that has increasingly gotten worse all while I've been trying to get my business degree....So in 3 months another 6lbs. gained....I know I'm a stress eater and I know I've fallen back into my old ways of eating...I'm so angry with myself and I feel like I've waisted my money....Yes I lost 100lbs but my support system is losing her faculties slowly and I feel like I'm on my own so who cares what I do...I'm not being held accountable to anyone but me...Which I am an adult and should be able to deal with this but ??????.....I'm afraid I've stretched my stomach but yet I still can only hold about the 3oz. and that is something I don't want to do....I'm the one doing the cooking in the home but 9 times outta 10 I can't eat but a half a cup of whatever I cook...I cook from scratch and not a bunch of startchy stuff...Turkey/chicken no beef....Salads, fish...all the right things except when I get to the quiet part of the night and relaxing....Help me....I know I need to get the stress under control but.... Maybe I shoulda of joined the astronaughts that were sent to the moon for a year....

You have identified the problem. You are under stress and have fallen back into the habit of using food to self soothe. Now it's time to take yourself in hand and find other outlets for your stress. Some suggestions: exercise, call your bestie and have a long talk, drink chamomile tea, soak in a bubble bath, read a chick lit novel, sex.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
