So very irritated

First off this post is all about me it is a poor Debbie post so if you aint interested or gonna flame my ass Just skip over it.
I am so pissed at this weight loss crap. Monday i weighed 203,Fri at Dr i weighed 210.This morning i weighed 217. This is total bull****Sorry for those offended by language but i am so pissed its unreal.
 I dont eat hardly anything,and what i do eat comes back up.So as of this morning my diet will now consist of protein drinks,water and other fluids.Nothing more.I did not have my guts arrainged to gain freakin weight. My life suxs right now and i am not gonna eat if gaining weight is the damn results.I am tired of trying only to FAIL once again.Sorry just had to rant and get it off my chest.
Debbie

My guess would be that its fluid and not really a weight gain. I know how frustrating it can be. I get frustrated because I am losing slower than a lot of people. That four week stall nearly killed me. Do not give up. We are all here pulling for you. You have to look at where you started and how far you have come. Most of us cannot see our own progress . I hate the scale but cannot stay off it. You will keep losing.

Thank you for being kind.. But i just feel like giving up.I would be ok with a lb gain here and there but i am not happy with 14lb gain.I was stuck at 204 for over 2 months now this. If i was eating junk or eating alot i could see it ,but i'm not. I am going to find out how much the dr really bypassed because i feel like he has let me down and did not bypass as much as he should have. Hell he messed it up from the git go so hard telling what he really did or didn;t do.I am upset and just not in a good place right now.But Thank you for your thoughts,
Deb

Hey, I understand where your coming from , I really do, But like Susie said it is almost certainly WATER weight, I feel down my lower legs when I'm not seeming to lose for while, and it is usually edema, I can lose 10 lb.s in 2 day's when I need to take water pills, Also, if you are not taking in enough calories than your body thinks it is starving itself and will hold onto any calories you do eat like nobodies business! I hadn't lost anything and actually gained some over a 6 week period, and than BAM I lost 12 lb.s over a couple of day's, it happens to almost all of us. You aren't doing anything wrong, and your surgeon i'm sure did what he was supposed to . It will start coming back off, your body just needs to adjust again, I PROMISE. you take care we've all been there.

Susy
Thank you for responding. I do take lasix every other day 40mg.And usually the weight will come off.But it is just not working.I can understand a 5 lbs weight gain due to fluid i can deal with that but it usually come off within the day after taking the laxix. But wholly molly i weighed 203 tues,by fri it was 210 and today 217. I feel so asahamed and such a failure.I was trying to get in the anouunt of calories .i know i didnt everyday.i do get in my protein most days.today so far i have gotton in 104 grams of protein and 80 ozs of fluids.took a lasix this morning and have only peed twice.my hands are so swollen.i realize i am not the only one and i am not trying to be a baby I walk over 4 miles a day on warm days,i dont set on my ass and do nothing.My sis n law sleeps 24-7 and the weight just melts off of her.I am not trying to compare me to others,But when i try so hard and get no where i get mad. i am in tears here and so hateful that my whole family has left for the day.My daughter n law took Nikki hopeing it would relieve some stress and gail is looking for a plot to bury me LOL.I hate feeling like this but i am at my wits end.I am a very strong woman but today i feel like a weak child with child like behavior. Sorry i am so negative but it is how i feel and my family dont wanna listen to me.So i turned to you all.If i am irritating yall please feel free to tell me to shut the hell up,suck it up and move on.i will totally understand.Thank you for responding I really appreciate it.
Love and Hugs Deb

No your fine, REALLY I get like that too,losing weight rapidly affects your emotions, hormones and whatever the heck else. If your hands are that swollen and your taking that much lasix, only peed twice, I think you need to get checked out by a doc. it is OBVIOUSLY WATER, don't even stress about that!!!  I am concerned about your kidneys, and truthfully I think you may be getting TO MUCH protein, I may be wrong but I seem to recall a nutritionist in my diabetes education class saying that to much protein can affect your kidneys, I may be mis-remembering (lol not a word probably) but you need to be checked out NOW! that is dangerous, it cannot be good carrying an extra 11 lb.s minimum of water, no wonder your so upset, I can only imagine how awful you feel, every summer I get like that, hopefully this summer a 100 lb.s lighter It won't be so bad. You know what BTW I really am a lazy ass, I hate exercize, walking included, and after almost 11 mo's out fear I am stalling so much I need to get off my ass and take a cue from you and WALK, yES i WILL.....probably tommorow though, today's too cold!lol seriously, please call the doc tommorow and get in, you have absolutely NOTHING to be ashamed for. please let us know you will go see the doc, and keep us updated. love and hugs right back at ya!! xoxo

Hi susy
I was just at dr suttomeirs{sp}Fri and told him about the swelling and weight gain .He scedualed me for Ct scan the 17th for stomach and pelvis,What the pelivis has to do with anything i dont know,Plus he has me schedualed for a scope the 23rd and a upper gi same day. Already been through the scope crap and had 4 different opinions on it in Jan.I just feel we do not get listened to because they are to busy herding us through like cattle and it really upsets me.I aked them to take my measure ments and ws told they were to busy ,so i asked for the ones they took before surgery was told she would look them up for me,But of course that didnt happen.At this point i truely wish i had chosen a different surgeon .At least one who gives a **** about their patients.Now i am stuck because noone will take on another surgeons patients.Please forgive me for all my negativity .i am usually not this hateful.

Love Deb

You don't have to see a surgeon for the water problem, go see whoever prescribed the lasix for you, if it the same person, than make an appt. with whoever your going to see, and tell them to schedule it for a whole list of problems and you will need more time than they have been allowing you!!! I would try to see someone else, it does not have to be because of the bypass you are having troubles, but you have to tell them about it when you get there! DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER, be polite (not rude it won't get you anywhere,) but BE FIRM!! I would be negative if I were feeling as miserable as you at this point and not getting the help you need , you are paying this person to take care of you, write everything down and look them in the eye and ask straight up questions, what you are experiencing is not normal.

Susy
I will be calling to see if i can get an appt with a different PCP Mon,Because the one i have blows me off also.I wont stop till i find someone who will listen to and hear what i am saying.Thank you for listening to me whine.
Love Deb

GOOD GOOD GOOD! please write and let us all know what you find out, please stop feeling guilty, you have to know that a medical problem is causing the weight gain, go take a bubble bath and a book, you'll feel better! love, susan
