Frustrated

Hello, I do not post here very much but do apprieciate the help from this forum that I have been blessed with thru my wls journey. I  very frustrated with troubles wth weight gain. I have gained back close to 60 pounds in the past year. I still am down close to 150 from my high point of 349 so thats good but I want to be back at 145 I felt good there..well truth still thought I was fat (wls is not brain surgery lol) I am finding that if I eat one fattening food,lets say a cookie or something I gain weight,I then get myslef back on track and bust my ass for a week living on protein shakes exercisiing my ass off to lose one pound that come back on if I eat a "normal" meal wls style. i Have an appointment with the Kaiser doc that follows up with the wls pts am working with the nutrtionist (who tells me to eat like 6 times a day small meals which I did and gained 8 pounds in 5 days) I am also working with my eating disorders therapist (I have an eating disorder if Kaiser had of knownj pre op I never woul;d of got wls) (water undr the bridge I am sure 90% of wls patients have an ED IMHO)So just venting here my frustration in regard to my body my weight etc I know there are peeps waiting for wls who are prolly thinking that I am being a brat perhaps I am but I put so much of my self esteem into bodys ize   Lisa

I am only 10 months out but I have heard others say when you gain weight to go back to the basics. Eat protein first and then  veges and fruit. Good Luck with losing the weight. You are only human so don't hate yourself.

Be kind to yourself. You only heap coals of anger on your head when you call yourself names, even internally.

Journal your intake; you may be taking in too many carbs. In my personal experience, even complex carbs in whole grain bread were triggers for regain. I can do veggies and fruit ok; bread, pasta, potatoes, not so much.

I know it's scary--I've gained too, but I don't exercise.

Good luck. We're all in this together.

Hugs,
