As bariatric patients, we already have issues with food that we need to overcome. We started out with an unhealthy relationship with food and how we think about it. One part of the surgery is learning how to eat and rethink about food. Along with that comes all the worries about your weight loss and other issues.
"Am I eating too much?"
"Am I eating enough protein or drinking enough water?"
"Am I not losing enough, or too slowly?"
"Should this much hair be falling out?"
There are so many questions we ask ourselves that it causes undo stress. Stress as we know is a trigger for eating. One thing we don't want to do is stress eat.
Being part of a weight lss forum or bariatric surgery weight loss group helps to ease these concerns. Be it online or one that your doctor's office has, just knowing that you are not alone with your concerns and getting answers from people who have been there can ease alot of that stress.
Questions are usually answered pretty fast from others and you may even find that you have a surgery sister or brother (someone who had surgery the same day as you.) This helps so that you can compare what you are going through.
We have enough to stress about in life. Let's help make this weight loss go as smoothly as possible.
Til Next Time!
