12 Weeks TT Post-Op!

Hi All, I don't post here much anymore, but I needed to vent today! So thanks in advance for listening! So I had an anchor cut TT w/ muscle repair and lipo 12 weeks ago today! I had lost about 7lbs after surgery and was thrilled, b/c it brought me to -110lbs since my Gastric Bypass 23 months ago. So I hadn't been weighing myself on a regular basis and I had noticed I had been getting a bit softer in spots. So I get on the scale today and I had gained 4lbs back since PS!!!!!!!!! FUDGE!!! I weighed in at 162! DAMN IT! I haven't been working out like I was before my surgery. I was a regular at my gym 3 - 5 times a week. Now I have only been about 3 or 4 times since surgery. Minus a few walks in Central Park which were all 3+ mile walks, but not enough! So today I turn over a new/ old leaf! Back to the basics! All protein, no carbs (bye bye baked chips and pretzels) and I went to the gym this morning. BTW, thrilled w/ my TT results! I love my new flatter tummy! I love my surgeon and I am a happy camper about everything but the weight gain which is all my own fault! Ok, thanks for listening, just had to kick my own butt a little!!! Ilyssa

Morning, Ilyssa! My god, girl you've done awesome! I can't imagine there's one person who hasn't or won't fluctuate a few pounds. You've put your cap back on with a great attitude to up the protein and exercise!!! I think you're terrific and a great inspiration for me!!!!!

I feel your pain! You will pull through it for sure! Find a friend and take a long walk! Kenny

Just keep on pressing on and you will be fine!

THANKS EVERYONE! Already starting to feel better since posting. Sometimes you just need to see it out there before you act! I believe in tuff love and I kicked my own butt today! THANKS!

Ilyssa, That is a great idea hun, back to the basics. It seems to do the trick most of the time, taking charge is all good. Congrats about the TT going well, I am just starting to think about the PS end of things and hoping to have a consult sometime this year. Take care and keep us posted on your progress Debra P

Thanks Debra, you look amazing!

Hi, Just change your eating habits and you will lose the weight you gained. Take care.
