I am FREAKING out
Aug 28, 2009
So I gained a pound today. GAINED. GAINED. GAINED. This is really freaking me out. What if the surgery didn't work and I'm going to be like this forever? I cooked a dinner out of eating for life and could eat all of it....I feel like I don't have any restriction. After surgery I didn't eat much, which is why I guess I lost weight but doesn't everyone lose their appetite after a surgery? My surgeon has told me to go to solid food when I feel ready, and so I have. I had been getting hungry between meals but now I feel like if the scars weren't there I wouldn't even known I had had the surgery....UGH. I'm not snacking between meals, so I guess thats a major difference between pre and post-op, but I'm still able to eat a normal amount (fairly). I haven't even gotten a "man I'm stuffed" feeling. I don't know what to do, and I'm just really disheartened. I feel like I'm going to have to really "diet" to get this to work, meaning I'll have to cut myself off when I'm eating in order to lose weight. I just don't know how much I should normally be eating? I know on liquids it was 4-6 oz, does that continue forever or is it more? I don't have an appointment for 3 weeks, so I guess I need a fill but won't get it till then. Should I go back to liquids to continue losing weight? I was so happy and proud of myself and now I just feel like a total wreck. I'm hoping this is just going to solids and it being in my system. I remember during my freshman year of college I got really sick and ended up losing 3 lbs while I was on saltines and ginger-ale but when I got better and started eating normally some of it came back. I'm still freaked out, I'm going to calorie count like a madwomen tomorrow. This has to STOP.
