Feeling Depressed and FAT!

This past week I have been feeling bloated and FAT! I had an appointment with my WLsurgeon last Friday and gained 2 lbs since my last visit, but not too depressed over that because it was a morning appointment last time and a late afternoon appointment this time. What I am feeling depressed about is the fact that I feel like I am always hungry. Today I ate: B- 1 cup multigrain cheerios and 1/4 c of 1% milk S- 2 string cheeses L-shrimp salad on a plate with tomatoes S- BAD Choice--Pringles later on I had a protein shake made with Skim Plus D-2 fish sticks and 1/4 c of mac and cheese 68 oz of water The scale does not show it but I feel like I look like I am putting on some weight. Everyone tells me I look the same and don't look like I am gaining and that I look great but I feel like I look like I did before WLS as well as that real bloated feeling. Is this a normal feeling??? The other night I had a dream that I GAINED ALL MY PRE OP WEIGHT BACK...Woke up in a panic and then releived it was just a bad dream, but since then I have been feeling the way I do physically and mentally.

EVERYONE who has had wls has nightmares about regaining their weight. In reading how you're eating and getting your fluids you're doing fine! How far out are you? Sometimes we hit a plateau and even if it doesn't show on the scale you can still tell you're losing inches. When this happens to me, I try to find something to do that keeps me busy enough or away from food. Is there anything stressing you other than the food issue? Feel free to contact me if I can be of help. Good luck.
