Tammy: Be positive. Food is a coping mechanism for all of us. I found working with a counselor has helped me even AFTER the surgery. I was a basket case the first month after surgery because I didn't realize HOW MUCH I used food to cope. I thought I'd gotten rid of all that before the surgery. You are normal. You will be ok. The board is a good place to seek refuge, but sometimes a good counselor is well worth it.

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
