I dump on sugar (basically I writhe on the floor wishing I was dead till it's over ) and I still get diarrhea from "normal " fat level foods which means I still malabsorb .... nine years after my RNY

I agree with you that it's probably emotional... especially because you're nervous about getting weighed .

I personally don't even keep a scale in my home ... when I get on one in say the grocery store I always weigh more than I can imagine .... probably because muscle weighs three times more than fat of the same volume.

But my body looks great ...I wear a swimsuit or bikini without a second thought or self consciousness . I still have a little extra skin on my tummy but I can choose to do sit ups ( an ablounger is GREAT and painless way to do them ) and I hope soon to get some plastic surgery and take those pesky fat cells away permanently lol! Now there are less invasive ways to tighten the skin -I've seen the results and boy do they work !

So hang in there ! It's great that you're in a support group and just posting your calorie intake and exercise on your appropriate surgery board really helps a lot of people here - both to stay healthy and to stay slim ! Hugs

Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

I'm thinking everyone s bodies R clearly different....but also what we choose 2 do post op .

I've shared way too many after-meeting meals where milkshakes and high fat hamburgers were the norm.
