4 Months post-op...

May 20, 2010

It's been 4 1/2 months since my RNY. I have lost 90 pounds and now I feel like I have reached my first stall. I haven't lost anything in a week and I am freaking out! I keep wondering is this it? Is this as far as I am going to go? Will I never reach my goal? Was going through this surger all for nothing? Gosh, this is scary. I know people say up your protein or your calories to jumpstart your loss again, but I am scared to. I don't want to eat more because I am afraid that will lead to overeating again and I will gain weight. I never thought that I would be the type of person who literally watched everything I ate, but I am. Granted I have had some things not approved by my surgeon (like a coupld bites of potato salad or a piece of pizza) but really I consider EVERYTHING that goes in my mouth. I know I have to stop weighing everyday, because it's driving me crazy!!!! I have to stop comparing myself to other people on this site! Do other people do that. Just today I was looking at a woman who weighed 2 more pounds than I did and had surgery a week after I did. She's lost 12 more pounds than I have and that freaks me out. I feel like what I am doing wrong?!?!?!?! Can not eating be a transfer addiction? I haven't done that, but I feel like I want to just stop until I lose some more weight. I was told by some friends that I needed to see a counselor or something for other issues, and now I think they are right because I seem to be loaded with issues. I am very happy for the weight that I have already lost, I just hope it's not over!!!
