3 years & 3 months post surgery

[Stitchlove]

Hi all! First time reaching out for support since surgery. I am 40+ married for 21 years with 3 children. It’s been 3 years and 3 months since my surgery and I do not have any regrets. (Down 117 pounds) I would do it again.....just sooner . Right now I am struggling a little because I am yoyoing a bit lately and it’s hard to get my mind right to stop allowing bad food habits to creep back into my life. I have been a bit depressed and find myself grazing a lot especially at work or when no one is around. Advice ?

Ok....went to my gym as I always do for my weight training class, this is where I do my official weekly weigh ins....it keeps me accountable. I have gained 10 pounds in the past 2 weeks!!!! HELP!!! I don’t know how or why this is happening. All I know is I want to die because this gain scares me so much. I can not gain this weight back. I am scared and don’t know what to do........

Look at what is happening in your life. Stress, emotions? Why eating at work? Engage a coworker for support. Plan yourself a moderate lunch and maybe a protein drink to sip on when the feelings return.
The operation is just a tool, the rest is your mental state. Good Luck!

Muscle weighs more than hen fat could be building muscle

Check your measurement on your body. You are probably getting more muscle.

That is real good. I am going to go to the doctor Tuesday and we are measuring my body to have as a guild of where I started.

That is probably what is happening if you work out a lot. If not try to go back to the beginning and go on liquid diet for a week or so and I bet it will be off
