I copied and pasted this out of my journal. I am hoping some people who are as far out as me or further can maybe help? I am just so frustrated..
"My official weigh in day is Thursdays... Two Thursday ago I was at 209.. That Saturday I went down to 207.. By last Thursday for some reason I was back up to 210. The FIRST gain I had to put in my log since I HAD surgery. This past Monday I was back down to 207. Today, Thursday, back up to 209.5. I just don't understand this. I am doing EVERYTHING right! I eat 1000-1200 calories per day, 80 plus grams of protein a day, 50 or less (usually around 40) grams of carbs per day, I drink 80-100 oz. of water per day and I exercise 6 damn days a week for at LEAST half an hour, usually an hour. So WHY is it that in the last TWELVE weeks I have lost only 14 pounds. That is it. 14. I am only 7.5 months out from surgery. I should't be loosing THIS slow only 7.5 months out. I could of lost 14 pounds in THREE months on my OWN, without having surgery. I still have 69 pounds til my goal weight and I am told by so many people that if I don't hit my goal weight by my 1 year anniversary, chances are that I am not going to. Well that is sneaking up and at a rate of 3 pounds per month I am NEVER gonna hit my goal weight. I told my husband to hide the scale. I am just disgusted. Why bother watching what I am eating and doing all this exercise? I am loosing the same now that I was 2 months ago when I WASN'T watching what I was eating or exercising. I understand that my surgery was just a tool and that I have to work to make it work, but I am telling you, I don't even know what else to do anymore. Sigh.. I am thinking of making an appt. with the Nutritionist that I saw before surgery. She was very knowledgeable in RNY and what my life would be like after surgery. Perhaps she can shed some light on what the heck is going on. I am frustrated and having a huge old pity party today. Any RNY'ers out there that can relate? Am I am the only one having this problem?????"
ANY help or suggestions are very welcome..
Thanks..
