Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hi Everyone, I need to talk to you. Only you all here understand the pain I feel right now. I have gained another 7 pounds since I was approved for surgery. I have alot of stress going on in my life right now and I eat to try and make me feel better but we all know that doesnt work. So now I feel like S-IT!! I bring this misery on myself and I dont no why. My Husband keeps asking me whats wrong. Nothing!!! He asked me last night if I was sure that I wanted to go ahead with this surgery. I looked at him and asked him why he was asking me that? I am so excited about having this surgery and everytime I talk about Dr. A and all of you I know he can see that. I told him for the 1st time in my life I have never been so sure about anything. His response is that he doesnt want me to be disapointed like all the other things that I have done and lost weight only to have it come back. I tryed to explain to him that this is no " quick fix " . It is a tool to help me lose the weight but it is a life long tool that I have to take care of and nurture so I can get healthy and feel good about myself. I dont want to go out in public right now. I just feel gross!! These are not hormones raging either. Aunt Flo has come and gone!! (Thats what I refer to my time of the month). Okay, Sorry for dumping my baggage on all of you but I knew you would listen and understand. Everyone here on the boards is so wonderful and I enjoy reading your posts. I need to get productive now and clean my house! UUGGHH Tammy Irish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Thanks Virginia, I think that too. Like I am never going to eat again!! I will take your advise. I did go and by Slim fast so this is what I have had today but I am getting pretty darn hungry right now. Those old habits are very hard to break! Tammy I.Virginia Herrell <herrell@...> wrote: Tammy, We are all here for you! I ate alot before surgery...........I think I was afraid that I would never eat again!!! I know this is going to sound strange but think everytime you eat..........become aware of the fact that you are eating and then maybe you will know why. I do this now that I have the band, to get to the point where I feel satisfied and not stuffed! It's not easy to break old habits.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hey, Kid (Tammy I) - you're ahead of me - I just haven't bothered to clean my house for a while. I want to hire someone but I'm ashamed to have someone come in to clean before I clean!! Crazy, huh?? I don't know what's really going on with you, Tammy, but some of it may be anxiety about making a commitment to change your lifestyle. One thing people keep impressing upon me (I'm surrounded by nurses and docs - we all want to give advice!) is that I must be committed to eating differently to get the wt. off and keep it off. I worry when I read that people are eating all their favorite things and now are gaining wt back. I can't fail this time - I just can't! I'll die of a stroke if I'm not 100% committed this time around. You are obviously a stress eater like many of us. You may be feeling some "separation anxiety" right now. That's when you anticipate how bad you'll feel being separated from someone you love (or in our cases - from our big love - food). I'm on preop diet but just polished off too many pieces of KFC and about a cup of cole slaw. Ridiculous - but I had a long day in a mediation in a lawsuit for the hospital with no results. I passed a KFC on the way home and bought not a two-pc meal, but a bucket. I always think it will last me all weekend, but my first dip into the bucket I usually eat too much, so it doesn't last quite as long as I anticipate. Shouldn't have bought it, but you know - we are only human - we get weak. The important thing is to get right back on track and vow to make better choices for the next meal, and the next one. There are lots of reasons each of us awaiting surgery may have for feeling anxious and agitated and other weird feelings. It will pass. Just don't let it get the best of you, and don't let it drive a wedge between you and an apparently supportive husband. Hang in their, Girl. Phyllis LIFE!!! Hi Everyone,I need to talk to you.

I went to buy something at a store with a credit card and showed my ID and the woman almost didn't accept it saying "You don't look like the person in that picture." I told her I had lost some weight and she then said "Congratulations, You look good. But you should get a new picture taken." LOL I think I will take her up on her advice but wait a while longer after I've lost some more weight. Its only been 3 weeks for me and people can already notice a difference in my face/neck.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Hi , I guess I should of read more posts before I replyed to your other one. I just got one of my questions answered re: your DOB/weight loss. Congratulations!! You have lost alot of weight in 3 weeks! You know for some reason I guess because this is my life long battle I feel like I wont be able to lose the weight like all of you here are doing. Did any of you feel like this before having surgery?? I just cant imagine losing over 5 pounds a week like you have. I know we are all different. Okay, That stinkin thinkin has got to stop right now Tammy!! I am talking to myself. I have got to change my negative thinking into positive thinking. I CAN DO IT TOO!!! WOOHOO!! Tammy I.
