LonglivetheGranny 5 Posted February 11, 2022 March 3rd, 2022, will be my one year post-op anniversary. I have lost 127 lbs. For a while now, everytime I eat something, I feel like I am gaining weight! I have this constant worry about it. I try on different clothes, just to make sure I am not, I check the scale regularly, etc. I love my success, and I would do it ten times over, if I had to, but I do not like this constant worry about weight gain. 1 3 SleeverSk, Summermoose, Esi and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Greater Fool 2,054 Posted February 11, 2022 Perhaps it's time for some therapeutic help before things get way out of hand. Good luck, Tek 2 Arabesque and Summermoose reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liveaboard15 1,293 Posted February 12, 2022 you cant worry so much. Dont be checking that scale so often. Its normal to gain a little and then loose a little and so on. eat well, Exercise and enjoy life. 1 SleeverSk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted February 12, 2022 I totally understand. I'm always worrying about gaining weight - and I always think I look "fat". I sometimes see pictures of myself taken several months ago - or maybe a year ago - and think "wow - I looked pretty good at that weight - I should try to get back to that again" only to check my records and see that I weighed exactly the same as I do now - or maybe only 2 or 3 lbs more. ARRRRGGGH. It's the body dysmorphia - and it's not uncommon. Yes - I do think therapy might help. 3 Tomo, Arabesque and SleeverSk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GradyCat 3,695 Posted February 12, 2022 You might benefit from talking to a therapist about your worries so he/she can get you to set realistic views of yourself and eating from this point forward. 1 SleeverSk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had the same thoughts today, now I have lost it how do I keep it off and how do I stop worrying about regaining. I am having a hungry day today and I haven't even got to my goal weight yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
