Quick tidbit on me. RNY 2002, started 326, lost 180lbs. Got married around 150lbs. Had 3 babies within the past 4years (gained 20,21,22 lbs with each pregnancy). Youngest is almost 7months. I have been working extremly hard to lose weight. I focus everyday on eating and exercising. But intstead I'm gaining. I have now re-gained over 75lbs.
Why on earth am I gaining weight when I should be losing??? Ever since I gave birth I've been gaining 1-2lbs a week. This just seems completely wrong because I have been adhering to pouch rules and exercising, and have been really focusing HARD on trying to lose weight. I just broke down crying to my husband because I felt like I "cheated" by eating a tiny handful goldfish crackers. He simply said that doesn't sound like cheating, but that's how awful I feel. I just don't get it. But any Dr. I speak to counts that as grazing and blame that to my failure. C'mon there has to be something else. I need help. When did you all decide that a revision was needed??? How did you get past the emotional strain of figuring out what was best to do?? How do you get Dr's to take your concerns seriously. To me they pass it off as, "well, you just had a baby and it takes all women who have had babies extra time to get the weight off." They don't address the fact that I'm still gaining each WEEK, despite my best efforts.
I think I'm going crazy.
Any words of hope or encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
