3 Months no weight loss. Is this it??
I'm so glad to hear that. I have not budged in over three months just keep going back and forth from 189 to 190. My friends have asked me if I have lost more weight but I haven't . I had a rather depressing day and ate too much light ice cream. I found out my son broke up with his girlfriend of 5 years and she was like a daughter to me. I feel like I lost a member of the family. I thought they would get married and she would be around forever. It's not good for my eating habits.
My weight keeps "realigning" for lack of a better word. I fit into smaller sizes, even though my weight is relatively stable. Are you keeping track of your measurements? Sorry to hear about your son's girlfriend. After five years, it must feel dreadful, especially since she was close to you. Our VSG's did NOT restrict our emotional eating... it's my hardest challenge.
Yes, I am really having a hard time with it. I felt like I got broken up with. I have gotten control of my eating for now. I just have to keep busy. I'm trying to be kind to my son even though I could kill him. His girlfriend was a sweetheart and I think he has done a very stupid thing. She was beautiful on the inside and out. He is 24 and for guys, I think they want to settle down more when they are about 26 - 27. My other two older sons are married and I was closer to my son's girlfriend than my daughter inlaws. Of course I saw her more often like every day. I hope that he will see the light before someon else snaps her up. We were very close to her family as well even went on vacations with them. Well I feel like I am back on track for now. I am using Dailyplate an exercising. I am not going to get on the scale for a while though. It just really frustrates me. I have not taken my measurments in a really long time so I will do that.
I also just came off a stall -- I even gained 2 lbs, which is the first time since surgery to do that. But I began keeping a food journal again (I use 'Daily Plate'), and found that I was eating way too many carbs. It's really pretty easy to get back into old bad habits. But I cut out the carbs, upped my protein, and I've lost 3 lbs this week. Don't give up! But do track your food and see what's going on in that area. You may be surprised!
Hi,
I had gastric bypass and if you look at my profile, you can see that I, too, have lost weight very slowly, I've been told, in part it is due to age, in part due to my being a "lightweight", my longest stall has been about 5 weeks and while I can admit to it being very frustrating, I believe if I continue to do my part, the weight will come off and when I get down I bring it here to my OFF family and they encourage and validate my journey thusfar. Like you at times I think, hey I haven't felt this good in years and if this is it, I can be happy, but in the deepest part of me, I want to lose another 30. So hang in there, do your plan and come hang out with us cool OFF people!
Hugs and good wishes, Laureen
