I am sorry for your loss! We can lose or gain weight with stress. It just depends on the person/situation. When my Dad was very ill and wasting away, I lost 70 lbs in 7 mos. My Mom was dx with cancer 15 mos after my Dad passed away and died 6 mos after that. I lost them within 21 mos of each other. I gained weight with my Mom's illness and death (May 2015) I am still trying to lose the regain, but its so much harder this far out. Little things that stress me out throw me into emotional eating and that is something I am trying to cope with. I have gone back to meal planning and logging my foods, it does help. It is a slower process now, than when I was newly post op. I know my tool still works and I just have to get back on track.

You have done well losing half of your 9 lb gain and I am sure you will lose the rest. Just try to refocus if you can and when you feel the stress kicking in.

Good luck!

Nik,

Sorry for you to loose both parents in such a short time. You must miss them immensely. You are in my thoughts my friend.

Losing a pet is so hard. I gained a lot of weight when I lost my Yorke. Like you, I had my OH family who allowed me to share and they offered great support.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet Buffy. Hugs to you. ..
